Residential and commercial property developer Artisan (UK) reported a sharply lower loss on reduced turnover in the year to June 2010. 

Even if exceptional write-downs are excluded, the loss still more than halved from £3.77m to £1.78m. The investment property portfolio made a positive contribution. Revenues fell from £10.9m to £9.4m, which was due to lower commercial property sales.

Trading was tough during the summer months. Improved consumer confidence and mortgage funding is required for further recovery in the property market. The planning system is becoming even more difficult.

At 30p a share, down 5p, Artisan is valued at £4m. The company’s NAV is £13.5m. Net debt is £18.5m, with all the debt lasting until 1 July 2011 – just over one year from balance sheet date.

Artisan warns that it may have to raise cash from a share issue in order to negotiate new facilities. Alternatively, Artisan could raise cash from selling part of the business.
