RNS Number:8599D Gourmet Holdings PLC 14 September 2007 Gourmet Holdings plc Preliminary results for the 52 weeks ended 24 June 2007 Gourmet Holdings plc, the owner and operator of Richoux restaurants today announces its 2007 preliminary results. 52 weeks ended 52 weeks ended 24 June 2007 25 June 2006 (restated) #m #m Turnover 10.02 10.24 Gross profit 1.22 0.89 Operating profit/(loss) before trading exceptional items 0.47 (0.05) Loss before taxation (2.85) (1.50) Key points: Strategic review * New board focussed on driving Richoux brand. * Aim to acquire/develop one or more complementary concepts in cafe/ patisserie space. * Focus on operational improvements to current business. Results * Increased turnover and operating profit at Richoux. * Disposal of all pub restaurants completed. * Cash of #5.53 million at year end. Neil Blows, Chairman of Gourmet Holdings plc said: "As a result of the business restructuring undertaken by the previous board, we are in a strong position to enhance the Richoux brand and acquire/develop one or more complementary cafe/patisserie concepts in order to drive the business forward." Enquiries Gourmet Holdings plc Neil Blows, Chairman (020) 7491 3791 College Hill Matthew Smallwood (020) 7457 2020 Justine Warren Arbuthnot Securities (020) 7012 2000 Nick Marsh Paul Vanstone Introduction Following disappointing trade at the Bel and the Dragon sites and the Company's other non-branded pub restaurants, the previous board of Gourmet took the decision to dispose of these sites. This was in line with its strategic aim to simplify the business and focus upon the existing Richoux offering, which continues to deliver a strong, cash generative performance. The new board believes that further refinement to the existing Richoux brand along with the acquisition/development of one or more cafe/patisserie concepts in central London will create shareholder value and will be the principal focus of Gourmet. The new board intends to further streamline operational costs including establishing a central kitchen, which will produce cost effective synergies for Richoux and any new concept we introduce. Results Group turnover from our operations for the 52 week period ended 24 June 2007 decreased to #10.02 million (2006: #10.24 million) reflecting the disposals during the period. Gross profit was #1.22 million (2006: #0.89 million). Administrative expenses (before amortisation and trading exceptional items) of #0.69 million (2006 restated: #0.84 million) were in line with expectations following the Board's decision to reduce its administrative cost base. The trading exceptional items of #0.71 million are; #0.30 million in respect of an FRS12 onerous lease provision in respect of the Highwayman, #0.27 million impairment provision in respect of the tangible and intangible fixed assets of the Highwayman, which has now been disposed, #0.11 million of bad debts written off in respect of the non-completion of a business transfer, and #0.03 million of professional and other reorganisation costs. The net loss on disposal of fixed assets of #0.22 million are; #0.33 million loss on the disposal of the Group's two unbranded pub restaurants in December 2006, #0.15 million profit on the disposal of the rotunda at one of the Bel and the Dragon pub restaurants, and #0.04 million loss on the disposal of other tangible fixed assets. The loss on disposal of discontinued operations of #2.10 million arose on the disposal of BDC Holdings, which holds the Bel and the Dragon chain of four restaurants to Ultimate Leisure PLC on 15 June 2007. The Directors are not recommending the payment of a dividend. Operations Richoux Richoux had a successful year, and for the second year running has recorded an increase in profit at the restaurant operating level. A committed and stable management team continue to operate the Richoux restaurants. As announced in our interim statement in March 2007, a new franchise has been signed to develop a Richoux restaurant in Egypt and we have received net other operating income of #0.06 million in respect of this. We aim to further enhance the Richoux brand through menu development and concentrating on our core operational skills to improve performance. Pub restaurants In September last year, the Board announced that, following a strategic review, it had put in place a sale process for the Group's entire pub restaurant operation. I am pleased to announce that this process has now been completed, on 22 December 2006 with the disposal of the two unbranded pub restaurants the Talkhouse in Stanton St John, near Oxford and the Five Bells in Stanbridge, Hertfordshire. Then on 15 June 2007 the disposal of the four Bel and the Dragon pub restaurants, and then on 10 September 2007 the disposal of the final pub restaurant the Highwayman in Checkendon, Oxfordshire. Outlook Following the sale of all the Group's pub restaurants and the successful restructuring of the Company, our principal priorities are to concentrate on the core business of Richoux restaurants, acquire/develop one or more complementary cafe/patisserie concepts and roll out units across central London. There is also the intention to appoint a Chief Operating Officer in due course. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking the outgoing board for their efforts in successfully restructuring the business and for the service they gave to the Company. I am delighted that Richard Scott is staying on with us on a consultancy basis until the end of December 2007.

Notes 1. The financial information for the 52 week period ended 24 June 2007 has been prepared in accordance with the company's accounting policies as disclosed in the financial statements for the period ended 25 June 2006, except for the adoption of FRS20 'Share based payments', in line with that standard's effective date. FRS20 requires a charge to be recognised in staff costs based on the fair value of options granted to employees. This fair value is established at the date of grant and recognised over the option vesting period. Adjustment is made to the charge recognised based on an assessment of whether non-market vesting conditions will be met. The comparative figures have been restated to reflect this change in policy. The effect of the adoption of FRS20 is discussed in note 10. 2. The financial information set out above does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the years ended 25 June 2006 or 24 June 2007 but it is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for 25 June 2006 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and those for 24 June 2007 will be delivered following the Company's Annual General Meeting. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their reports were unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. 3. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 24 June 2007. The results of all subsidiary undertakings are consolidated. Intra-group sales are fully eliminated on consolidation. 4. Pre-opening costs Property rentals and related costs together with promotional and training costs incurred up to the date of the opening of a new or refurbished restaurant are written off to the profit and loss account in the year in which they are incurred. 5. Other operating income Other operating income includes franchise fees, net of all associated costs and charges, derived from the Middle East. Initial license fees are recognised at the time the license is granted, ongoing income is recognised in line with performance. 6. Trading exceptional items The trading exceptional charge of #713,000 comprises #303,000 FRS12 provision for an onerous lease for the Highwayman in Oxfordshire (the provision is based on the surrender of the leasehold interest and the payment of a reverse premium of #260,000 and costs of #43,000, this pub restaurant was disposed of on 10 September 2007), #271,000 impairment provision in respect of the tangible and intangible fixed assets of the Highwayman in Oxfordshire, the impairment provision has been based on the net realisable value of the assets in question, #113,000 bad debts write off in respect of the non-completion of a business transfer, #26,000 for professional and other reorganisation costs. 7. Loss per share The loss per share is calculated by reference to the loss after taxation and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of 34,209,687 (2006 restated: 27,784,505). The loss per share for both the basic and fully diluted loss per share is calculated on the basis of a loss for the period of #2,863,000 (2006 restated: #1,496,000). The diluted loss per share is calculated by reference to the loss after taxation and the weighted average number of ordinary shares and share options in issue during the period of 34,231,493 (2006: 27,889,358). Share options and warrants not included in the diluted calculations as per the requirements of FRS14 (as they are anti-dilutive) totalled 494,319 (2006: 721,522). 8. No dividend is proposed. 9. Disposal of BDC Holdings Limited On the 15 June 2007 the Company disposed of the entire share capital of BDC Holdings Limited (and its subsidiary companies) and Bel and the Dragon (Hampton Court) Limited (formerly Gourmet Trading Limited) for #8,750,000 (adjusted for the repayment of an inter company loan of #2,408,000 and working capital of #124,000). The fair value of the consideration received for the share capital of the companies was: Book value at date of disposal Group #'000 Intangible fixed assets 1,717 Tangible fixed assets 8,985 Stock 85 Debtors 114 Cash and overdrafts 3 Liabilities (623) Net assets 10,281 Costs of disposal 440 Sale proceeds (8,626) Loss on disposal 2,095 10. Impact of FRS20 The adoption of FRS20 has no effect on net assets at any reporting date as the credit/charge to the profit and loss account is offset by an equal and opposite charge/credit recognised directly in reserves. The loss after taxation for the 52 week period ended 25 June 2006 was increased by #24,000 as a result of FRS20, leading to an increase in the loss per share of 0.1p. 11.
