PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE YEARED 31ST MARCH 2019
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
It is pleasing to report the results for the year, in which revenue was a little down, but underlying operating profits improved.
Sales revenue was GBP13.89m (2018: GBP14.35m) and profit before tax was GBP0.88m (2018: GBP1.18m). This was after the exceptional item for Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) Equalisation relating to our pension fund which we have had to recognise this year. The operating profit was better than last year at GBP1.38m (2018: GBP1.34m) reflecting savings made through overheads.
As I am certain shareholders are aware, this year has been the same as the one before with regard to trading conditions. The uncertainty around Brexit has caused us all sorts of continuing problems. These are perhaps surprisingly not led by uncertainty of sales to business customers within the EU, but much more seriously from our supplies from there. It is having, most importantly of all, a very bad effect on our business, and our future prospects, with our London and South Eastern customers within the UK.
It is therefore more difficult than ever to forecast where we might be in twelve months' time. You can imagine that I do not enjoy being so indecisive, but it is a unique situation we find ourselves in. Perhaps I could add, as a company listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1890, there must have been other times equally difficult, which we managed to get through.
Having said that, overall business activity has held up well up to the time of writing this statement. This has undoubtedly been helped by our considerable investment in some excellent designs and products, together with that in plant, machinery and IT systems in order to manufacture them efficiently.
Our current profitability allows us to recommend, in addition to the interim dividend of 5.5p per share which was paid 23(rd) March 219, a final dividend at the same level as last year, at 6.875p per share, which will be paid on 16th August 2019 to shareholders registered as at 19th July 2019.

NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Basis of preparation
The Group has prepared its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2019 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. There was no impact on the reported results due to the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those included in the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31st March 2018 except for changes required on the adoption of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".
The financial information contained in this preliminary announcement does not constitute the Group's statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.
The annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors on 10th July 2019 along with this preliminary announcement. The annual report and financial statements will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies after the Annual General Meeting.
The statutory accounts of Samuel Heath & Sons PLC for the year ended 31 March 2018 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's reports on the statutory accounts for the years ended 31st March 2019 and 31st March 2018 were unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
2. Critical accounting and key sources of estimation
Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The Group has evaluated the estimates and assumptions that have been made in relation to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in these financial statements.
The key accounting judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty with a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to assets and liabilities in the next 12 months include the following:
Pensions - movements in equity markets, interest rates and life expectancy could materially affect the level of surpluses and deficits in the defined benefit pension scheme.
Valuation of property, plant and equipment - the Group reviews the value, useful economic lives and residual values attributed to assets on an on-going basis to ensure they are appropriate. Changes in market value, economic lives or residual values could impact the carrying value and charges to the income statement in future periods.
Provisions - using information available at the balance sheet date, the Directors make judgements based on experience on the level of provision required against assets, including inventory and trade receivables. Further information received after the balance sheet date may impact the level of provision required.
Deferred tax assets - deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits.

5.50 pence per share) 139 139
313 452
------ ------
In addition to the dividends paid during the year the directors are recommending a final dividend for 2019 of 6.875 pence per share amounting to GBP174,000. The proposed final dividend is subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting and hence has not been included as a liability in these accounts.
6. Earnings per share
The basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the relevant profit after taxation of GBP738,000 (2018: GBP980,000) by the average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year being 2,534,322 (2018: 2,534,322). The number of shares used in the calculation is the same for both basic and diluted earnings.
7. Exceptional item
The business has recognised the past service cost resulting from Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) equalisation as an exceptional item on the basis that it is a one off cost of substance arising from a legal case during the financial year.
GMP equalisation is the recognition that during the 1990s benefits accrued differently for men and women based on their then different retirement ages.
8. Notice of annual general meeting
Notice is hereby given that the 2019 Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at the registered office of the Company, Leopold Street, Birmingham, on 9(th) August 2019 at 12.00 noon. The final dividend of 6.875 pence, if approved, will be payable on 16(th) August 2019 to ordinary shareholders registered at close of business on 19(th) July 2019.
9. Posting of accounts
The report and accounts are being posted to shareholders today where requested, and are available on the Company's website, at www.samuel-heath.com/investor-relations.
