This suddenly seems to have jumped to life - but cannot find any news - any ideas anyone ?

Baza

A sobering thought on this one.

Pasted from another web site by freedom5

Woody, you would definately be better waiting for the results. Lets not forget that this company is still in big trouble. No investor in their right mind would get their hands dirty just now with LNX. Better to wait and see what the results say. If they are good then the price will rise, but there will be plenty more scope to get in as this company is still very much lost in the woods. If the results are bad then you will quickly lose 50% of your investment, as the price could easily slip right back down.

Website for anyone interested is

Really poor website. I think it says a lot about a company if they can't even get the website right.

Anyway, I have been looking at the terms of the loan stock but I am too lazy/stupid to work it all out. Anyone spell out to me what it means in laymans terms. One thing I did notice is that the stock has an 8% coupon that payed it's first installment in May, so 2%. But does anyone have a figure as to what is the total? Is it 2% of the total rescue funding raised? If so this is a significant sum to pay back on top of all the other restructuring costs. If management get out of this one then I'll be delighted. Biggest indicator will be the forthcoming results. If they are late, and/or poor, then I will bet my house this company is doomed, regardless whether Banco Popular has backed them or not.

I also don't buy all this nonsense about Brits paying whatever price for British goods whilst living abroad. I have stated in some old posts that there is actually a lot of competition from both British owned and Spanish owned companies. Also, enterprising individuals with no overheads are undercutting the larger firms by placing orders with British cash and carry's, taking orders from shops/restaurants and then delivering all the goods in one fell swoop. Meaning they can significantly undercut the established companies. And don't think this is trivial. It is having a real impact on the bottom line. I know this because I have worked for a far better run, more profitable private company who took this threat very seriously.

I dont know the answer to you questions for the moment but will find out in due course.

Brits will and do pay crazy price for foostuffs and do so while Spanish and France food products remain good value.

Mercadona for example in Spain, and Carrefour in both Spain and France, are carrying British products at a premium and even the locals buy them.

As said its like CFE, just another interesting high risk punt

Gentlemen it must be the way I pick them.

Looks really good for tomorrow, but as always go with care in one hand, when you have the cheque book in the other.

Ian Fenn 27 June 2007CHAIRMAN'S REVIEWIn his report to shareholders at the time of the release of the Company's
annual figures last June, my predecessor spoke of a period of turmoil for the
Company.
The Company entered the year to 31st December 2006 saddled with the legacy of
this period and the Board's first priority was to focus on strengthening the
operating base through a combination of rationalisation measures aimed at
bringing costs down, and a review of trading operations aimed at concentrating
on a smaller number of higher margin product lines.
I am pleased to report that although much remains to be done, we are beginning
to see some positive results from this strategy and we believe that the Company
is now on a stronger footing than it was a year ago. It is also encouraging to
be able to report that these efforts in recent months have seen a stabilisation
of sales and improved margins and we are hopeful of continuing improvementsFINANCIAL OVERVIEWIn the year ended 31st December 2006, revenue declined by approximately 27% to
7,091,000 (2005: 9,779,000) as a result of the retrenchment of activities.The marketplace for the Company's products, however, remains encouraging. The
Company's loss before tax increased to 2,435,000 (2005 loss: 1,587,000).
Administration expenses remained broadly similar year on year with the benefits
of the rationalisation measures, taken in January and February 2007 being felt
in the current year. Furthermore, these measures will have no impact on the
Company's ability to service its customers.
Following the refinancing in July 2006 the working capital position was further
strengthened in March when the Company announced that a new banking facility
with Bank Popular had been negotiated. Under this facility, Bank Popular will
discount up to Euro500,000 in respect of selected debtors. Lennox currently has a
debtor book of approximately Euro2.0m and it is proposed that a wider invoice
discounting facility will be made available over time.
THE BOARDOn the 26th July 2006 I was appointed as Executive Chairman. I have over 30
years business experience within the food industry and of the procurement
distribution and sales process industries, including Brakes Food Service and
Fisher Foods Limited. He is currently on the boards of Harpenden Building
Society and Pinguin Foods UK.
Rolf Silver, ACCA was appointed as Finance Director on the 26th July 2006. Rolf
Silver has been an accountant in practice for over ten years. He has worked as
a financial consultant for the last eight years for companies such as
Computerland plc and Experian Group Limited.
On the 17th January 2007 the company announced that Ray Greenwood had decided
to retire from the board. I have assumed his responsibilities.
STAFFFollowing the review implemented early in the current year, the Board has
undertaken a rationalisation of all aspects of the Company's operations which
has included a reduction of the overall headcount, aimed at producing
commensurate cost reductions.
This has been a difficult period and we thank the staff for their loyalty and
support.
OUTLOOKThe Company is recognised in the food industry as being one of the prime means
of distributing northern European produce to Spain.
The product range has been proactively rationalised, by removing the low
margin, low turnover product lines and a greater emphasis placed on high value,
high volume products. In the past year we have concentrated on increasing the
range of products in our retail accounts whilst noting the potential to grow
into the commercial marketplace, taking in hotels, restaurants and other
caterers, which require catering package products.
The core strategy remains intact and the Company continues to strengthen
alliances with UK food manufacturers seeking to promote and distribute their
products into the Spanish domestic market. The board looks forward to building
on the opportunities available to the Company.

LENNOX HOLDINGS PLCYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESThe principle accounting policies applied in the preparation of these
consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared under the going concern concept.The continuation of the group's activities is dependent upon the continued
support of the bank, its creditors and the group's improving trading
performance.
1.1 Basis of PreparationThe consolidated financial statements of Lennox Holdings plc have been prepared
in accordance with EU Endorsed International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), IFRIC interpretations and the Companies Act 1985 applicable to
companies reporting under IFRS. The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation
of certain properties.
IFRS, as adopted by the EU, differs in certain respects from IFRS as issued by
the IASB. However, the consolidated financial statements for the periods
presented would be no different had the group applied IFRS as issued by the
IASB. References to IFRS hereafter should be construed as references to IFRS as
adopted by the EU.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the
use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the group's accounting
policies.
1.2 ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of
the company and enterprises controlled by the company made up to 31st December
each year. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the
financial and operating policies of an investee enterprise so as to obtain
benefits from its activities.
On acquisition, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition.
The results of the subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are
included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of
acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to financial statements of subsidiaries
to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by other members
of the group.
All significant inter company transactions and balances between group
enterprises are eliminated on consolidation.
1.3 Segment reportingA business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing
products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different
from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in
providing products or services within a particular environment that are subject
to risks and returns which are different from those segments operating in other
economic environments.
LENNOX HOLDINGS PLCYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued1.4 Foreign Currency translationItems included in the financial statements of each group's entities are
measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the
entity operates (`the functional currency'). The consolidated financial
statements are presented in Sterling (), which is the company's functional and
presentational currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using
the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign
exchange profit and losses relating from the settlement of such transactions
and from the translation at the year end exchange rates of monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income
statement.
The results and financial position of all the group entities that have a
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated
into the presentation currency. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet
are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet. Income and
expenses for each income statement are translated at the average exchange rate.All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of
equity.
1.5 Property, plant and equipmentLand and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods and
services, or for administration purposes, are shown at fair value, based on
periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by external independent valuers,
less subsequent depreciation for buildings. Any accumulated depreciation at the
date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the
asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. All
other property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less
depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly
attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings
are credited to other reserves in shareholders' equity. Decreases that offset
previous increases of the same asset are charged against other reserves
directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the income statement.Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying
amount of the asset charged to the income statement and depreciation based on
the asset's original cost is transferred from `other reserves' to `retained
earnings'.
Depreciation on assets is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation or
assets, over their estimated useful life, using the straight line method, on
the following basis:Freehold property : 50 years
Vehicles : 3 - 5 years
Fixtures, fittings and equipment : 3 - 5 yearsAssets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful
lives on the same basis as owned assets.
The gain or loss arising on disposal of an asset is determined as the
difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset.
1.6 GoodwillGoodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of
acquisition over the Group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary, associate or
jointly controlled entity at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recognised as
an asset and is tested for impairment annually, or on such other occasions that
events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.
LENNOX HOLDINGS PLCYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued1.6 Goodwill - continuedGoodwill arising on the acquisition of an associate is included within the
carrying value of an associate. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of
subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities is presented separately in the
balance sheet.
On disposal of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled entity, the
attributable amount of unamortised goodwill which has not been subject to
impairment is included in the determination of the profit and loss on disposal.
1.7 Impairment of non-financial assetsThe entity assesses at each reporting date whether an asset may be impaired. If
any such indicator exists the entity tests for impairment by estimating the
recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value
of an asset an impairment loss is required. In addition to this, assets with
indefinite lives and goodwill are tested for impairment at least annually.
1.8 InventoriesInventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is
determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable
variable selling expenses.
1.9 Financial InstrumentsFinancial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the group's
balance sheet when the group has become a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
1.10 Trade receivablesTrade receivables are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate
allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.
1.11 Share capitalOrdinary shares are classified as equity. Redeemable shares are classified as
liabilities.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options
are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
1.12 Share OptionsThe share option programme allows certain directors to acquire shares in the
company subject to performance criteria. The fair value options are recognised
as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value
of the option at the grant date is measured using the market value.
The directors consider that no charge should be made in the 31st December 2006
financial statements, as currently they feel the conditions for exercising the
options will not be met.
1.13 Trade payablesTrade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
LENNOX HOLDINGS PLCYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued1.14 BorrowingsBorrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs
incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference
between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is
recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months
after the balance sheet date.
1.15 Finance and Operating LeasesLeases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are
retained by the leesor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under
operating leases are charged to the income statements on a straight line basis
over the term of the lease.
Leasing agreements, which transfer to the group substantially all the benefits
and risks of ownership of an asset, are treated as if the asset had been
purchased outright. The assets are included in fixed assets and the capital
element is applied to reduce the outstanding obligations and the interest
element is charged against profit so as to give a constant periodic rate of
charge on the remaining balance outstanding at each accounting period.
1.16 Convertible loan stockConvertible loan stock is regarded as a compound instrument, consisting of a
liability component and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair
value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market
interest rate for similar non-convertible debt. The difference between the
proceeds of the issue and the convertible loan stock and the fair value
assigned to the liability component, representing the embedded option to
convert the liability into equity of the group, is included in capital reserves
(equity).
The interest expense of the liability component is calculated by applying the
prevailing market rate similar non-convertible debt to the instrument. The
difference between this amount and the interest paid is added to the carrying
value of the convertible debt.
1.17 Deferred TaxationThe charge for current tax based on the results for the year as adjusted for
items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using the rates
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in
respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. In
principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible
temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from initial
recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction which affects
neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences
arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the group is able to
control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
LENNOX HOLDINGS PLCYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2006NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued1.17 Deferred Taxation - continuedDeferred tax is calculated at the rates that are expected to apply when the
asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the
income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly
to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
1.18 Revenue recognitionRevenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable
for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the group's
activities. Revenue is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and
discounts after eliminating sales within the group.
2. SEGMENTAL INFORMATIONGeographical segmentsThe groups' main business segments operate in two main geographical areas.
The home country of the company is the UK. The areas of operation are
principally the distribution of branded and own label British food and drink
products.
The groups' revenue is mainly within the UK and Spain.

Convertible loan stock 2,717 2,717 - -

2,717 2,717 - -On the 2nd May 2006 and 27th July 2006 the company issued 2,695,000 of
convertible loan stock. The loan stock is convertible at the holder's option at
any time until 31st July 2011 at the rate of one ordinary share for every 10p
nominal value of stock. In addition, subscribers of stock received one warrant
for every 10p nominal of stock subscribed, which entitled the holder to
subscribe for one ordinary share at a price of 1p per share for each warrant
held, at any time in the three years commencing 1st August 2006. The
subscribers to the new shares issued during the year also received one warrant
for every share subscribed with similar rights to the subscribers of stock.
Interest will accrue from May 2007 at a fixed rate of 8% per annum, payable
quarterly in arrears. The company will repay the loan stock to holders on the
earlier of the liquidation of the company or 31st July 2011 at 15p per 10p
nominal stock plus outstanding interest unless previously converted or repaid.
21,600 of the convertible redeemable secured loan stock was issued during the
year in lien of 15,200 of salary sacrificed by Ray Greenwood and Rolf Silver,
and 6,400 of fees sacrificed by Nigel Terry. This management loan stock has
216,000 warrants attached to subscribe for ordinary shares, on the same basis
as the loan stock.
The values of the liability component as equity conversion component were
calculated at the issue of the stock. The fair liability of the liability
component was calculated using a market interest rate of 10%.
The directors consider the equity element to be worthless, as all the proceeds
have been classed as a liability component.
No charge has been made in the 31st December 2006 financial statements but in
future years there will be a considerable charge for the interest element and
the uplift in the agreement of 15p per 10p raised, unless stock holders convert
to equity.
The loan stock is secured by a debenture over the assets of the company, and a
charge over the group's freehold property in Benissa, Spain.

20. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIESThe group is exposed to credit, liquidity and currency risks in its normal
course of business. There is no significant exposure to interest risk as the
group whilst having material borrowings has tied these borrowings to the
Euribor. Based upon the composition of the borrowings at 31 December 2006, an
increase in interest rates of 0.5% would increase costs by circa 5,000.
CurrencyriskExchange risk is not currently hedged with the group, due to the availability
of funds, and all exchange transactions are at spot rates. This area will be
addressed by the company when it is practically possible.
Credit riskExposure to credit risk associated with trade receivables is monitored on an
ongoing basis by the local credit control teams with close involvement of the
finance department. The majority of the receivables are held with customers
whom have a long standing trading relationship with the company. Provisions are
made against doubtful trade receivables, and reviewed on a monthly basis.
Liquidity riskLiquidity risk is managed by a review of monthly reports within the group.

The original vendors have agreed to surrender a total of 5,704,108 shares of
10p each. Of these 3,779,107 will be cancelled and the remaining 1,925,001
surrendered to the company.
The details are as follows:P Voller/Farm Holdings (Spain) Limited 3,204,108

D Franks 1,000,000

S Robinson 500,000

J. L Tedesco 500,000

R Burns 500,000

5,704,108As at the balance sheet date the shares had not been cancelled as the company
had insufficient funds to finance the cancellation of the shares.
b. On the 17th January 2007 the company announced that Ray Greenwood, managing
director had decided to retire from the board. Nigel Terry, executive
chairman will assume his responsibilities.
c. David L Read, an individual has purchased 3,850,000 ordinary shares,
representing 14.45% of the company's issued share capital since the year
end. The directors have received no approaches from any party.
d. The company has secured new banking facilities with Bank Popular. Bank
Popular will initially advance up to Euro500,000 in respect of certain
debtors, and it is proposed that a wider invoice discounting facility will
be available over time.
31. GOING CONCERNThe continuation of the group's activities is dependent upon the continued
support of the bank, its creditors and the group's improving trading
performance. The group have put in place a cost reduction process which
includes a reduction in its payroll commitments. The directors are currently
negotiating an invoice discounting facility which will provide the additional
working capital required to provide the forecasted return to profitability.END

David, I bought in today at 6p.

Are these as expected and what do you think for the share price tomorrow. Any thoughts and opinions appreciated. Thanks

It looks like a fair assessment, more or less what I expected hense my note of caution above.

I would think were are now at the bottom of the cycle but would expect to see some heavy selling in the morning.

I think with the continued support of their banco and further invoice discounting facilities it has a fair chance to give an improved SP in time,. However there is still a lot to be done and there is no short term fix only an improved market share and better margins in order to enable a stronger cashflow.

And also dont forget we will not have any knowledge of the current position until the next results, these results, being as they are, old and out of date by now, and if what I hold to be true is indeed so, the company, whilst still remaining a precarious punt has already built on the Chairman's encouraging statement.

At these prices or lower, buy a few to tuck away.

Still expensive at 3.75p.

you could well be right but I will reserve comment for a few days, although 2p would not surprise me.

You pays your money you takes your chance a they say.

Well I must say it ended the day better than I thought it would.

Check this one carefully it could make you a few bob and it could take it off you.

I am calling for the former and its still worth a careful punt with money you can afford to tie up for a while or even lose....
Follow Banco Popular.

Well I am still going for "follow Banco Popular" I did not sell and it seem I bought a little doggy however it may have been a mistake to buy 350000 of the little devils. but there is still a few shots left. the chariman, the FD, the market and the banco and all those outstanding invoices for discounting.

However if you ask me should I buy, unless you are prepared to gamble I would say no!

10b

YOU ARE A TOTAL LOSER.

It would look like it on this one at least for a while-

Another BKE...LOL.

No I dont thinks so as LNX temporary dog at it may well be, at least has a board of directors, especially Rolf the FD who are at least working hard for thier sharholders.

This cannot be said for BKE, AND THAT IS SAD.

The BKE directors draw their money from diminishing shareholders funds.

Please check it out for yourself. ie think before gobbing.

Tenby

I believe you were once a holder in BKE and had millions of shares until you sold at a massive loss.
