The Tanfield Group Plc (TAN)

A very good report on Tanfield in Shares this week, well worth reading…

“As a result of its £44.5 million acquisition of SEV in 2004, Tanfield is Europe’s largest maker of electric vehicles. Environmental pressures and congestion charge schemes are driving demand. The new Edison and Newton models should build on the success of the Faraday.. The stock is still cheap and earning forecast could rise.”

Tanfield (TAN) Results scheduled for Monday 25 September.
I hold them as shares and in a spreadbet.
Company website for anyone interested is http://www.tanfieldgroup.co.uk

Vehicle image http://www.smithelectricvehicles.com/images/faraday.gif

As well as being well placed to cash in on legislative pressure regarding emissions, they recently acquired a division specialising in mobile hoists, which is thriving, thanks partly to the Working At Height legislation that now bars many tasks from being done from a ladder.

Tanfield's Smith division is launching a new 7.5t electric truck at a European courier/despatch show in a couple of weeks in Amsterdam http://www.smithelectricvehicles.com/index.asp

The statement accompanying today's results is well worth a read. Everything is on track for strong growth in the coming months and years by the looks of it - with some of it already in the bag to show strongly in the next results. Price climbed strongly ahead of today's results, and well done anyone who has banked a great gain already - but I am adding.

 

[Day-to-day]

Hi Purple Person.. SP had a good days trading yesterday and is well up again today...

This is one set of results that I have been waiting for.. In the light of what has been happening with the company over this last period.. The move to the new head-office.. With the much larger assembly facility .. the acquisition of Upright ., the company has moved forward at a fair pace.. my own feeling is that the company will be building strongly on its line for good growth in the next period…

Results out for the Tanfield Group… are well worth reading.. Smith Electric
Vehicles will become the lead brand for the company Zero Emission division… As Smiths had the highest growth area in the Zero Emission Vehicle division, where turnover for the six months was £8.8m. The full year in 1995 was £9.6m…

The lead brand for the powered access division of the company will be UpRight Powered Access.. I note that the turnover in this division was £3.1m in the period.. Against full year figure in 2005 of £4.4m.

Financial show turnover increased by almost 60% against H1 2005, with significant pre-tax profit increase against H1 2005. Net current assets quadrupled against year end 2005. High organic growth in both key divisions
Net assets doubled against year end 2005. Gross profit margin maintained

Look out for more good news from the company on the Smiths div.. As throughout the first six months of the year the company delivered vehicles to the airport, delivery and waste collection sectors, plus the public sector. Fleet operators such as Sainsbury's, TNT, and Enterprise plc, all of whom recognise the efficacy and compelling financial case for the use of zero emission vehicles within a closed urban environment.

For the true followers of TAN it has been a long haul…I will hang in and hold onto my Investment.. Will you..? Any one out there who would like to comment on the next six months trading…?

 

[Day-to-day]

London Asia Capital Plc… Private Equity arm… London Asia Chinese Private Equity Fund… have made two new investments…

Their second investment of £9.2 million for a 22% stake, has been arranged with the Singapore listed Asia Water Technology company, a specialist water treatment company…

London Asia is starting to make it name in the China and Singapore market place.. Keep your eyes open on LDC… Would you say that the above is good news?.

 

[Day-to-day]

A strong interim report from London Asia Capital…

Highlights for the period include:
Profits for the six months up six-fold to £0.7 million (2005: £0.13 million);
Net assets increased to £28.1 million (2005: £25.8 million);
Raised £50 million for the AIM listed London Asia Chinese Private Equity Fund, and first management fees received;
Two investee companies listed since start of year;
Market value of listed investments £8.7 million at 30 June 2006, £4.8 million above cost;
Corporate adviser to 5 floats of Chinese businesses in the UK since January 2006, currently corporate adviser to 8 companies listed on PLUS;
Number of offices in China increased to 32;
Significant relationship established with Shanghai United Asset and Equity Exchange.


For all of you who are investors in LDC.. the chairman of LDC Jack Wigglesworth, is on record as saying that he is disappointed in the performance of the Company's share price. I agree on that statement..

I intend to stick to my gun‘s.. And hold onto my Investment in LDC.. any comments.. ?

Deltex Medical Plc (DEMG)

Again and again Deltex has proven overwhelming that an independent systematic review has proved positive for the use of CardioQTM…

Tests have proven that giving fluid, guided by oesophageal Doppler monitor … can shorten the time that patients have to stay in hospital.. Saving bed space, and cutting back costs for hospitals..

A presentation on the facts have be given by Dr, Mark Hamilton at the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine meeting in Barcelona..

The NHS cuts as I see it can only be the main reason why more hospitals are not taking up the use of the monitor… In time they will because of the saving involved in time and money.. Both the European and US markets are starting to sit up and take notice..
