Johnson denied asking the MBI team to abandon Hosking`s approach and increase the expected profit to attract investors. Mr Hosking is demanding £3,.8m from LGV after being kicked out of the MBI team because, he says, he refused to accept figures predicting mcBride would have profits of £48 .8m to £51 million in 1995. Its estimates were that the company would bring in £42.7 million by this year, which was closer to the actual profit of £38.6 million announced in October.

Mr. Handley also testified that the figures he presented to the union in place of Mr. Hosking were prepared with the help of LGV and its accountants, KPMG. However, he said in his testimony that he was concerned that Mr.

Hosking`s figures showed a decline in profits in the first year after the purchase, followed by a subsequent increase rather than the immediate increase expected by the company`s current management. « The purpose of installing an MBI team is to improve the company`s performance beyond what has been achieved or planned by existing management, » he said. Earlier in the case, Michael Handley, now McBride`s chief executive, testified that Mr Johnson had « made it very clear » that investors, particularly banks, were nervous about Mr Hosking`s methods of analysis. « They were worried. It was a concept they couldn`t imagine. It didn`t matter. They were lower profits. {{#verifyErrors}} {{Message}} {{/verifyErrors}} {{^verifyErrors}} {{Message}} {{/verifyErrors}} When viewing an ad, consider the state advertising restrictions that lawyers and law firms must adhere to, as well as our legal directory disclaimer FindLaw.com.
