Recruitment firm OPD swung into loss in 2009. A profit of £2.03m was turned into a loss of £2m. Net fee income fell from £69.7m to £49.4m. Cost cutting only managed to offset part of that decline. OPD may sell stakes in its PSD and Hoggett Bowers subsidiaries to their respective managements. OPD does not have the required 25% free float necessary for a Main Market listing. Two shareholders own 93% of OPD. The company says that it is trying to resolve this problem. Legion Group has sold its CCTV maintenance business in order to concentrate on manned guarding. Contract Fire & Security is paying £900,000 for annual contracts worth a similar amount. A recent trading statement revealed that revenues would be £60m and Legion would return to profit in the year to March 2010. All the resolutions at the requisitioned general meeting of ZincOx Resources have been defeated.US SDR LLC and Aldersgate Investment Managers own 5% of ZincOx, a developer of waste recycling plants to recover zinc and iron from steel industry waste. They wanted to remove ZincOx's chairman Andrew Woollett, managing director Peter Wynter Bee, finance director Simon Hall, technical director Jacques Dewalens, project development director Simon Mulholland and non-exec Gilles Masson. They also wanted to replace them with Russ Robinson of US SDR and Barry Hamilton.Few other shareholders supported the resolutions. The biggest vote in favour was equivalent to 5.93% of ZincOx's share capital and it was still less than 10% of the votes cast. Templar Minerals has raised £3m at 1p a share in order to provide working capital for its operations in Brazil and finance the search for other opportunities. This placing represents just over one-third of the enlarged share capital.
