INTERIM REPORT

Half year ended 30 September 2018

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

As I said in my statement in July, we have budgeted this year for lower figures than last year. In the event this has proved correct. Sales revenue was GBP6.722m (2017: GBP7.377m) and profit before tax GBP402k (2017: GBP687k). The business is trading at a level slightly better than budgeted and has been relatively evenly split across our major markets, although it is fair to say that the UK trade has been somewhat more subdued than elsewhere given the current situation.

As has been the case for some time now, we are still experiencing a level of uncertainty which is expected to persist at least until the final decision is taken as to what will happen with our trade with the EU after 29 March 2019. Although this falls at the end of our annual financial reporting period, we have already had to take decisions which will affect our statement of financial position at that time, as well as possibly our income statement. The vast majority of our purchases of raw materials, either directly or indirectly, are from Europe. We have thought it wise to buy forward with a number of these in good time, in case of a Hard Brexit, to ensure adequacy of supplies.

The effects of a Hard Brexit on actual trade are not known, but paying higher prices for our raw materials does not normally help. With all this going or not going on, it is even more difficult to forecast the results for the full year, but at the moment I am pleased to report that orders are coming in fairly well.

We are proposing an interim dividend of 5.5p per share (2017: 5.5p), which will be paid on 22 March 2019 to ordinary shareholders registered at the close of business on 22 February 2019.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

   1.             BASIS OF PREPARATION OF INTERIM REPORT 

As permitted, IAS34 'Interim Financial Reporting' has not been applied in this interim report. The information for the period ended 30 September 2018 is not audited and does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2018 were given an unqualified audit report and did not contain statements under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The interim accounts for the half year ended 30 September 2017 were also unaudited.

   2.             ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of accounting

The report has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee as adopted by the European Union.

The group has not availed itself of early adoption options in such standards and interpretations. There has been no impact on the adoption of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in the period.

The principal accounting policies adopted are as set out in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2018. The valuation of inventories is considered to be the main area in terms of significant accounting estimates and judgements.

The retirement benefit scheme liability recognised in these interim accounts reflects the estimated change in the deficit at 30 September 2018 from the movements in discount rates and inflation during the six months.

   3.             DIVIDS 

An Interim dividend of 5.5p per share is proposed, payable on 22 March 2019 (paid 23 March 2018: 5.5p).

   4.            EARNINGS PER SHARE 

The basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the relevant profit after taxation of GBP330,000 (30 September 2017: GBP556,000) by the average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period being 2,534,322 (2017: 2,534,322). The number of shares used in the calculation is the same for both basic and diluted earnings.
