Titon Holdings PLC - Essex-based ventilation and hardware manufacturer and supplier - Swings to a pretax loss of £250,000 in the six months to March 31 from a profit of £549,000 a year before. Blames this on administrative expenses, which rose 8.7% to £2.5 million from £2.3 million, and on lower revenue. Reports net revenue of £11.5 million, down 1.7% from £11.7 million a year before. Blames this on weaker trading conditions in Korea and reduced sales in Europe. Declares interim dividend of 1.5 pence, unchanged from a year before. Says trading in the second half remains ‘subdued’ due to component shortages. Expects these conditions to continue in ‘the immediate term’.

Current stock price: 79.20 pence, down 12% on Thursday

12-month change: down 40%
