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.

Year to 31 March:

Mitie Group reported a pre-tax profit of pounds 1.8m (pounds 1.2m). EPS 11.6p (11.1p). A final dividend of 1.5p makes 2.75p (2p).

Eliza Tinsley Group announced a pre-tax profit of pounds 510,000 (pounds 830,000) after exceptional cost of pounds 342,000 (nil). EPS 4.72p (8.02p). A final dividend of 3.4p makes 5.2p (5.2p).

Hadleigh Industries suffered a pre-tax loss of pounds 1.15m (pounds 1.76m profit). LPS 8.7p against EPS of 17.2p. No final dividend.

Others:

Brown & Jackson's first figures since the recent rescue and capital reconstruction had the Poundstretcher stores group reporting pre-tax profits of pounds 1.75m for the six months to 31 March. EPS were 0.5p, but there will be no dividend. Nor is there likely to be at the year-end, the company says. The figures are not comparable with last year's interims because of a change in reporting periods and the seasonality of the business.

Aukett Associates reported a first-half pre-tax loss of pounds 1.16m compared with a profit of pounds 740,000 after an exceptional charge of pounds 586,000 (nil). LPS 7.31p against EPS 3.42p. No interim dividend.

YRM made taxable profit of pounds 1.37m in the year to 30 April (pounds 1.99m). EPS 5.78p (9.35p). Final dividend of 2.35p makes 4p (5p).

Murray Smaller Markets Trust made a pre-tax profit of pounds 3.79m (pounds 4.24m) for the year to 31 May 1992. EPS 4.62p (5.27p). The final dividend is 2.75p, making 4p (3.75p). NAV 295.3p (276.1p).

Temple Bar Investment Trust first-half pre-tax profit pounds 5.88m (pounds 5.63m). EPS adjusted 7.501p (7.134p), basic 7.642p (7.248p). Interim dividend is held at 4.5p.

Allied Textiles saw first-half pre-tax profits slip from pounds 6.51m to pounds 5.21m. EPS 12.38p (15.71p). The interim dividend is increased to 4.5p from 4.4p.
