RNS Number:7779Z Longmead Group PLC 06 July 2007 THE LONGMEAD GROUP plc ("Longmead" or "the Company") Interim results for the 26 weeks ended 28 April 2007 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT Trading Results During the six months under review turnover was almost exactly the same as last year at #1.171 million (2006: #1.173 million). Up to the end of March, sales were ahead of budget but April was a very disappointing month with a significant shortfall in sales to one major customer. Our General Trade sales have been good throughout the period with a number of new accounts being added, and we are optimistic that we can continue to grow this part of our business. Margins have improved slightly in the period despite the difficulty in obtaining price increases following increases in raw material costs. Our overheads have been kept in line with budget although we have experienced increases in interest costs. For the six months, the Company made a small loss of #36,000 (2006: #54,000 loss) arising, almost entirely, from the shortfall of sales in April. Product Development New products, launched last year and aimed primarily at our General Trade customers have performed well. The range of bathroom furniture has been a success and we are looking to expand this product range in the future. There has been a steady improvement in our door furniture sales arising from the introduction of new products. We have been developing a new range of ceramic products for the non-bathroom market and these should be launched within the next few weeks. We are at present evaluating our existing ranges and developing new products for the Kitchen, Bathroom and Bedroom Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham in March 2008. Balance Sheet Our Balance Sheet at the end of the period was very close to budget. In spite of the introduction of new products, our stocks have fallen by some #46,000. Due to the shortfall in sales in April and strict credit control, our debtors are #80,000 less than last year. We have continued to repay the Medium Term Loan which stood at #650,000 at the period end. Our overall cash position shows an improvement of #80,000 compared with budget. Our net assets per share have fallen slightly to 25.4p per share. Future Prospects There is a great deal of uncertainty in the economy at present. Interest rates have continued to rise and further increases are likely. The second half of the year has started slowly and has not been helped by the weather in June which has affected overall retail sales. The continuing rise in house prices will inevitably impact on consumer spending at some stage, with increasing interest rates reducing disposable income. It is our intention to continue to develop and promote General Trade sales through product development and strong marketing. We have continued to reduce overheads, and the second half will show a reduction compared with the first half. We are looking to improve our overall results in the second half but much depends on the overall economic situation.
