SAFELAND PLC
UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 September 2011
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
As reported in the trading statement that was announced at the AGM I am pleased to confirm that for the six months ended 30 September 2011 the Group has returned to profit in the sum of £87,000 (2010: £1,288,000 loss ).
I would reiterate that this is not indicative that a profit will also be reported the full year ended 31 March 2012.
The economic conditions remain extremely volatile across all sectors and we continue to be highly selective in the purchases that we make, with an emphasis on carrying out the conversion of properties into residential units to be sold to owner occupiers.
Our plan to establish a chain of hostels through Safestay our Joint Venture vehicle with the Moorfield Group is well underway. Building works have commenced on the first site in Elephant and Castle with an anticipated opening in May 2012. Further locations are being considered.
We look forward to the future with cautious optimism.
