Bond debt doubles

NZPA-AAP Perth Bond Corp Holdings’ debt burden more than doubled to nearly sAust6 billion in 1987-88 as a result of the company’s acquisitions. Bond Corp’s 1988 annual report showed total borrowings of $5.758 at June 30 compared with $2.498 at the same time in 1986-87. Total liabilities rose to $6.388 from $2.78. They include current borrowings of 52.088 and noncurrent borrowings of $3.678. The debts are expected to be reduced this financial year through the rationalisation of Wisconsin brewer, G. Heileman Brewing Co., and newlyacquired Bell Group. It was the $1.648 acquisition of Heileman which was chiefly responsible for the blow-out in debt.
