Fisher Capital Equipment Update - Market slams Fisher and Paykel on profit Warning
The share market has come down hard on Fisher & Paykel Appliances - with its shares falling 40 per cent after the company issued a profit warning today.
The whiteware manufacturer's shares, which were worth $2.94 this time last year and worth $1 on Friday, went into free fall and are currently trading at just 60 cents, a 40 cent fall.
Earlier today the company said it expected a net profit of $25 million to $30m, down up to 54 per cent on last year.
Due to the deterioration in the New Zealand dollar, Fisher & Paykel Appliances' total bank debt grew $122 from March last year to $512m at the end of January. It was predicted to be $570m by the end of March.
It is now looking at reviewing its capital structure and alternative sources of capital.
Fisher Capital Equipment Update - Market slams Fisher and Paykel on profit Warning - The market was very concerned the company had to come back with a capital raising, which was unexpected, said Hamilton, Hindin, and Greene director Grant Williamson.
The home appliance market had dropped off in all areas Fisher & Paykel exported to and there did not appear to be too many signs of a turnaround in world housing at the moment, he said.
"I think investors are starting to say; how long is it going to be before conditions change for the company? I think that's the biggest concern." Williamson said Fisher & Paykel Appliances' wares were sold into most new homes but when very few new homes being built it would have a serious effect on their sales.
A 40 per cent drop in share value was a big hit for the share price to take but that was the general state of the market.
"If any company disappoints the market then the market is very harsh on their share price and we have certainly seen that this morning with Fisher & Paykel Appliances."
The company announced it would not proceed with a capital note issue and was looking an alternative source of capital.
The directors were considering the merits of issuing equity, including to a cornerstone investor.
Williamson said he did not believe a capital notes rising would have been particularly well received.
He did not see any short term bounce in the price until there was clarification around the structure of equity rising. That was expected to be announced in early March.

MADOFF SCAM BECOMES 'EARTH' QUAKE
The fallout from a stunning $50 billion swindle - allegedly engineered by Bernard Madoff - is turning into a global pandemic.
International banks, hedge funds and small-time investors from Japan to Switzerland emerged yesterday as potential victims in what's being called history's largest Ponzi scheme.
The international losses alone could be more than $8 billion.
Just in Geneva, banks reportedly may be out of $4 billion invested with Madoff.
Tokyo's Nomura Holdings, which reportedly recently began marketing Madoff's fund abroad, also is swept up in the financial wipeout.
And Bermuda's Kingate Management had invested part of its $2.8 billion fund with Madoff.
"It's overwhelming. We have been interviewing people from as far away as Argentina, London - of course, Palm Beach and the New York area - up and down the Eastern seaboard, and out West," said attorney Mark Mulholland, who has filed a class-action suit against Madoff in federal court in Long Island.
Meanwhile, it was revealed yesterday that Madoff's investment business hasn't been inspected by the Securities and Exchange Commission since he registered with the agency in September 2006, according to Bloomberg News.
Generally, the SEC scrutinizes a newly registered firm's books in the first year and then checks them at least every five years.
Madoff's brokerage firm - which is separate from the investment business - was found to have three violations in a 2005 inspection for violating rules on trade prices. But the company was inspected last year without a claim.
While the effects of the alleged scam were felt worldwide, the brunt of its effect is being felt among wealthy country-club investors Madoff cultivated on Long Island and in South Florida.
Some of the Big Apple's wealthiest individuals and institutions may have been duped, including Yeshiva University - on whose board Madoff sat - Mets owner Fred Wilpon and the former owners of the Stop & Shop supermarket chain.
Other notables who have reportedly been stung by the collapse of Madoff's fund are Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) and members of New York's Loeb family.
Sources say Kay Windsor founder Carl Shapiro lost $400 million, and Nine West founder Jerome Fisher, who lives in Palm Beach, Fla., lost $150 million.
North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System on Long Island and the Texas-based Julian J. Levitt Foundation are also believed to have lost millions.
"The numbers we are hearing from these victims in terms of losses are in the hundreds of millions absolutely," Mulholland said.
American hedge funds were far from immune.
Maxam Capital Management, of Darien, Conn., may have lost $280 million and has been forced to close. The Fairfield Greenwich Group in Connecticut had part of its $7.5 billion fund invested with Madoff. And New York-based Access International also lost an unknown amount.
The SEC has seized Madoff's assets and Lee Richards has been named receiver to go through Madoff's books to determine who is entitled to surviving funds.
Investors anxious about their investments have been urged to call Richards at (214) 647-7511.
Groundbreaking on Ivanpah Solar – Fisher Capital Equipment Update
Fisher Capital Equipment Management Update- Bechtel joined BrightSource Energy today in a ceremony to mark the start of construction of the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, a groundbreaking project that will usher in a new era of advanced solar power in the United States.The ceremony was held in California's Mojave Desert next to the Ivanpah site. Avoid online internet scams, get latest updates on Fisher Capital Equipment Management website.
Ian Copeland, president of Bechtel's Renewable Power business, described the significance of Ivanpah for Bechtel and the renewable power industry. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, and other state and local dignitaries also recognized the importance of Ivanpah in the evolution of renewable energy .
ABOUT IVANPAH. Bechtel is partnering with BrightSource Energy on one of the most important projects yet in renewable energy.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, in the Mojave Desert northwest of Needles, will be the first large-scale solar thermal project built in California in nearly two decades, and the largest of its kind in the world. It will generate enough electricity to power more than 140,000 homes and will nearly double the amount of commercial solar thermal electricity produced in the United States today.
Bechtel will provide engineering, procurement and construction services for Ivanpah. The company also is an equity investor in the project, underscoring its commitment to fighting climate change through renewable energy.
The complex will consist of three separate plants using use BrightSource Energy’s Luz Power Tower (LPT) technology. It will displace 400,000 tons (363,000 metric tons) of carbon dioxide emissions per year— the equivalent of taking 70,000 cars off the road— while also reducing water use 90 percent by using a closed-loop dry-cooling technology.
The three plants will have a combined capacity of around 400 megawatts of electricity, which BrightSource will provide to PG&E and Southern California Edison. Commencement of construction on the first plant was in October 2010, following permitting review by the California Energy Commission and the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management. The first plant is scheduled to come online in mid-2012.
Bechtel (BEK tl) is the world's No. 1 choice for engineering, construction, and project management .

We currently have projects in dozens of locations worldwide, from Alaska to Australia. No matter how challenging a project or how remote its location, chances are Bechtel can handle it. That's because we bring an unmatched combination of knowledge, skill, experience, and customer commitment to every job.
We have had record revenues for the past five years, and Engineering News-Record (ENR) has named Bechtel the top U.S. construction contractor for 12 straight years.
While we work for governments and commercial customers, our projects have helped grow local economies and improve the quality of life for communities and people around the world. Time and again our work has demonstrated that the only limits on human achievement are those that we place on ourselves.
Privately owned with headquarters in San Francisco, we have offices around the world and 49,000 employees. In 2009, we had revenues of $30.8 billion and booked new work valued at $20.3 billion.

Fisher Investments :: Stock Broker Fraud Blog
Earlier this month, our securities fraud law firm published a blog post about a $1.2 million arbitration claim filed against Fisher Investments by a couple accusing the investment adviser of breach of fiduciary duty. Fisher Investments head Ken Fisher called the allegations “nonsense.”
He also brushed off claims made in an investment adviser lawsuit, this one filed in Houston federal court by investor Maurine Ford. The plaintiff contends that Fisher Investments is responsible for substantial losses sustained by a living trust that the firm began managing for her in June 2008. Before then, Lighthouse Capital Management LLP of Houston managed the trust. That is, until Fisher Investments purchased the client assets.
According to Ford’s complaint, the asset allocation in the trust’s account when it was transferred to Fisher Investments was 27% cash, 41% equities, and 32% fixed income. She contends that Fisher Investments recommended that the plaintiff reallocate the portfolio so that 100% would be invested in equities.
The $1.2 million investment advisor arbitration claim, filed in Georgia by Michelle and Brent Murphy, accuses Fisher Investments of keeping nearly 100% of the senior couple's investments in equities despite the market collapse that was taking place.
Mr. Fisher maintains that both cases against his firm are going to hit concrete walls. He has called the lawyers handling both cases “incompetent” and said that the clients “will be sorry in the end” for paying for legal fees when they end up empty-handed.
In response to Fisher’s claims, Stockbroker Fraud Attorney William Shepherd says, “While it is true that attorneys not accustomed to handling investors’ claims are indeed not competent to handle such cases, Mr. Fisher may discover that all lawyers are not incompetent in this area of the law. Investors who hire a legal team that has handled hundreds – or even thousands - of claims by investors, such as our firm, very well may surprise Fisher. We look forward to providing him with that learning experience.” Mr. Shepherd is the founder of securities fraud law firm Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas, LLP.
Following the majority of past market collapses, investors were most likely to try recouping their investment losses from broker-dealers and stockbrokers. Industry experts, however, are anticipating that this time around, investors may also seek to get their money back by filing lawsuits and arbitration claims against liable financial advisers.
