Exceptionals push Raine into the red
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Raine, the troubled housing, construction and property development group, announced a loss before taxation in the year to June of pounds 102m after a pounds 104m exceptional item, which included the losses on a raft of discontinued activities. The company said its principal UK operations, Hall & Tawse building contracting, Hall & Tawse social housing and Hassall Homes, made a combined operating profit before exceptionals of pounds 10.4m. Following their renegotiation, banking facilities have been extended until 1998.
Other changes include the closure of the group's southern housing division, the reduction of the contracting arm from seven to three divisions and a reduction in social housing's overheads to match an expected fall in demand. Raine's shares, which have fallen from 53p in the past year, closed 2p lower at 16p.
