TIDMAPG RNS Number : 8784D Airsprung Furniture Group PLC 10 December 2009 Airsprung Furniture Group PLC Interim Report and Accounts September 2009 Chairman's statement The Group continued its recovery from the depressed performance of 2008. Revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2009 rose to GBP23.1 million, a 9% increase on the previous year's comparable period. Profit before tax was GBP473,000 compared with a prior year loss of GBP721,000 and representing a favourable earnings swing of GBP1.2 million. The cash position at GBP2.0 million continued to be positive and showed an improvement of GBP0.5 million on the March 2009 year-end figure. The Group's pension scheme liability was re-valued as at the period end and showed an increase in the deficit from GBP2.0 million as at 31 March 2009 to GBP3.6 million, reflecting unfavourable movements in AA-rated corporate bond yields. The profit and loss account recognises a pension charge of GBP40,000 compared with an income of GBP87,000 for the same period last year. The attributable profits for the past two half-year periods provide solid cover for the Group's resumption of dividend payments, which commenced this autumn. The board now intends, subject to the availability of distributable reserves and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, to recommend a single dividend each year for approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The trading environment for the rest of the year is unpredictable, particularly as regards the Christmas and New Year period, and the impact on consumer spending of higher rates of VAT and possible rises in unemployment. Input prices of steel wire and petrochemical foam have hardened over recent months and may continue to do so. Airsprung is, however, well positioned in the marketplace, supplying a relatively stable and strong component of the retail sector. The directors look forward to the Group continuing its progress in the second half-year.
