Attention Mr Peter Collins
As shareholder of Clough I am interested as to how the company is progressing with these two problem contracts, and as to what the Dollar value of these contracts in question will be .
THE CLAIMS PROCESS CONTINUES ON BOTH. WE ARE STILL HOPEFUL OF GETTING BETWEEN A$5-8 MILLION DOLLARS BACK ON THESE THAT WILL GO STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM LINE FOR THIS CURRENT YEAR'S RESULT.
Excerpt from news clips I have found on the Internet ________________________________________________________________________
Problems with two contracts were the main drivers of the underlying result. Management, however, are more optimistic about the second half on the basis that the performance of the two contracts will improve
*************************************** Clough profit was affected by two contracts that are now finished and Clough expect to recover the monies in this financial year which will be booked as profit **************************************
Work on the two problem contracts, which were mentioned with thehalf-year result, has now been essentially completed. Financial negotiations are proceeding and no recoveries are included in the year-end forecast. ########
Clough is forecasting substantial growth in financial year 2002-03 with revenue forecast to exceed the billion-dollar mark for the first time in the Company's history.
Have also read that improved earnings are forecast for the later part of 02,03 based on present contracts in hand ,is this still on track and do you expect to add to this work list as other tenders are accepted .
YES, WE ARE ON TRACK FOR A BILLION DOLLAR YEAR IN REVENUE TERMS. MORE WORK IS ALSO BEING ADDED TO OUR WORK IN HAND AS WE GO.
