dividends from modest and the next years.
Therefore in the future investors can expect stable dividends policy; high
dividends, possibly, only in case of exclusive growth of incomes.
Considering Tomkins strategy of growth, incomes can be used for purchase or
development of new products and the equipment.
Besides the parity of payments makes about 60 % that means, that the
company cannot increase dividends considerably.

stable with exception of the short period between 2000 and 2002. Current value P / E
and ROA attitudes as it is represented, the banner from a historical average level,
therefore the company hardly is tested with high fluctuations of the prices for actions
in short-term prospect.
This application is based on following logic: Tomkins has very limited
opportunities for increase in the ROA above a historical value.
Thus the profit comes back also will be rather stable in short-term prospect.
Historically important Tomkins investors on P / E a parity 15, which the factor of
current liquidity of the company, therefore increase in a share the price / decrease is
will be based on change of moods of investors.

growth high growth of cost of actions is not probable.
At the same time productivity Tomkins was stable enough for the last few
years, hence, There are no bases to expect any especially adverse development the
nearest years.

Economic and administrative charges which were constant reduction, including, that
the company grows within last 10 years. This parity confirms ability to operate in a
batch production without increase in working costs.
Besides the cost price of realized production tends to decrease, it means, that
the company has more opportunities to increase the margin, at last, there is an
obvious jump in researches and development charges, certainly, decrease in
profitability in short-term prospect, but confirms ability of the company to invest in
development at preservation of profitability.
