AIM - LOSERS

UniVision Engineering Ltd, down 15% at 0.72 pence, 12-month range 0.72p-2.70p. Sinks to 12-month low as a dispute with a subcontractor held back progress on a major contract, resulting in higher costs that more than halved profit. For the six months that ended September 30, reports pretax profit dropped 64% to GBP142,000 from GB394,000. The Hong Kong-based CCTV and surveillance system company said that a dispute with a subcontractor over the value of work related to its Mass Transit Railway Corp contract was responsible for the fall. MTRC is the company's largest customer, with UniVision providing replacement work on CCTV systems and installing CCTV system for numerous railway lines in Hong Kong. Believes that the sub-contractor performing installation works as part of the contract has under-performed tasks. This, the company noted, had resulted in major delays in the MTRC project and also increased costs, as Univision deployed its own resources to complete the outstanding work. Also records impairment of GBP634,000 related to billings to MTRC for a maintenance contract. It took no such hit a year before.
