I thought they sold above all to places that had suffered catastrophic weather or earthquakes where the power supply was ****ed, and gennys were needed in a hurry.
Pretty well a disaster behind every bit of business they do. Most are natural, some are self inflicted.
It was published the other day that if Lester sell Harry for £65M then we'll get £7.2M from the sell on.
Well that would be a slightly more palatable but still underwhelming £9.75m, if my Casio is on the ball. EDIT: Just seen it's a percentage of the profit, not of the overall sale. That's still pretty disappointing.
Travelling ro Travelling around developing countries as I have, generators are becoming less popular as improvement in solar energy has evolved. Unless they diversify, I suspect their sales will gradually shrink.
I would imagine they will be thinking if Harry and then Bowen are sold then that could bring them in around 25 million. Obviously i don't know what we would get for Bowen but I would have thought 25 million for them two if they are both sold.
Night time? And back to the electric car thread and battery capacity. All electricity generation is use it or lose it. Perhaps diversify into battery technology?
Solar backs up to a battery for night time, and the improvements in battery technology along with solar energy makes them much more efficient these days. As you say further battery development will only make them even more attractive. Unlike generators, once the solar system is fitted there is no more cost, unlike generators use of petrol or diesel.
Hull City owners Assem and Ehab Allam see company profits fall further in 2019 Allamhouse Limited has published its accounts for the year ending December 31, 2019 Allamhouse Ltd, the parent company of Hull City owners Assem and Ehab Allam reported a pre-tax profit of £2.5m in 2019 despite showing an operating loss of £28.3m for the 12 month period. The annual accounts for Allamhouse Limited, which encompasses Hull City, the engineering firm Allam Marine, the Stadium Management Company (SMC) and property development interests, have filed their latest set of accounts with Companies House covering the period from January through to December 2019. The period covers the second half of last season and the first half of the current campaign for the Tigers, meaning the final parachute payments paid to the club following their relegation from the Premier League are included. The report shows a marginal profit, down on the £4.3m profit posted for 2018, which in turn was down significantly on the £52.7m pre-tax profit posted a year earlier. The latest records show Hull City as a business made a loss of £167,753 during 2019, despite the actual income rising from £12,344,172 in 2018 to £13,407,714 last year. Payments to acquire players fell from £2,477,544 in 2018 to £1,111,647 in 2019. The Stadium Management Company (SMC) recorded a loss of £1,855,151, which the owners say was in line with expectations due to the tenancy agreement with Hull FC. The £18.5m parachute payment, down from £40.3m a year earlier, combined with almost £12.4m in player sales helped Allamhouse reverse their overall operating loss and post a pre-tax profit of £2,487,567. Those parachute payments have now ended. The money incurred from the sale of players was the single biggest avenue for cash flow last year, with the holding company showing £25m in cash, with shareholder dividends totalling £3.8m paid out. The accounts continue to show Assem and Ehab Allam as the only directors of the company. The strategic report, signed off by Assem Allam last month indicates the amount of money still owed to the Allams in terms of the initial loan when purchasing the club still stands at £50m, while a £45,000 donation was made to the Conservative Party. In terms of the future of the company, the accounts state: “The directors are confident about the future prospects of the group as they believe careful control over the finances should lead to long-term success. The group has very low gearing and is well positioned for the future.” https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/spo...woW6c5dnerQXdD1O_Pp_GZG6Ona2ntmVv39xLmOvjCMvM
This bit is by no means guaranteed at present, which would make the return of £50m even more unlikely.
