Chairman's Statement

I am pleased to present the results for the year ended 31 May 2018.

Results

The Group achieved sales for the year of GBP41,538,000 (2017: GBP41,053,000). Trading conditions have been difficult with increased competition and pressure on margins and although sales are slightly higher than last year the Group made a reduced profit after tax of GBP545,000 (2017: GBP1,114,000). Last year the Euro denominated Parent Company loan to its German subsidiary resulted in a currency gain of GBP310,000 whereas this year there was a GBP49,000 currency loss.

Net assets at 31 May 2018 increased by GBP686,000 to GBP18,988,000 (2017: GBP18,302,000) and thus the value per share increased slightly to 69.4p (2017: 66.9p). Net bank debt decreased by GBP1,035,000 to GBP4,485,000 (2017: GBP5,520,000).

Hemmers-Itex Textil Import Export GmbH ("Hemmers")

Fabric sales for the year at Hemmers, Leeds Group's principal trading company, are in Euro terms slightly lower than last year at EUR43,342,000 (2017: EUR44,182,000). In sterling terms, the revenue increased slightly to GBP38,299,000 (2017: GBP37,544,000) as a result of the weakening of sterling. The pre-tax profit in the current year of GBP1,123,000 (2017: GBP1,012,000) was higher than last year. Trading conditions continued to be challenging and so a strategic review coupled with a comprehensive cost review was undertaken during the year to ensure increased profitability for Hemmers in the coming year.

Chinoh Tex Ltd ("Chinoh-Tex")

Chinoh-Tex, the Hemmers subsidiary based in Shanghai, achieved external sales revenue of GBP3,239,000 (2017: GBP3,499,000). However, due to reduced gross margins, there was a pre-tax loss of GBP86,000 for the year (2017: profit GBP47,0000. Steps have been taken to reduce infrastructure and administrative costs to ensure profitability in the future. Chinoh-Tex continues to provide valuable assistance to its European parent in terms of purchasing, quality inspection and bulk shipping of fabrics bought in China.

Stoff-Ideen-KMR GmbH ("KMR")

KMR's operating performance has been unsatisfactory which resulted in Hemmers incorporating a loss for its 50% shareholding in KMR of GBP107,000 (2017: profit GBP33,000). On the 5 July 2018, Leeds Group announced that it had reached an agreement to terminate the joint venture arrangement with KMR acquiring and cancelling the 50% shareholding of our partner. Hemmers will retain its shareholding in KMR and thus become the sole owner. The directors of Leeds Group believe that it is in the best interest of the Group to take full control of KMR going forward.

Dividend

The Directors do not propose a dividend considering the reduced trading result.

Employees

On behalf of shareholders, I want to thank the management and staff of Hemmers, Chinoh-Tex and KMR.

Outlook

The Board considers there are still potential growth opportunities for Hemmers, Chinoh-Tex and KMR despite a competitive environment and given the steps taken to improve efficiencies, the directors believe that we are well placed to return to previous profit levels for the Group.

At this early point in the current financial year, sales and profit are in line with the expectations of the Board.

Strategic Report

Business review

The Companies Act 2006 requires the directors to set out in this report a fair review of the business of the Group during the year ended 31 May 2018, including an analysis of the position of the Group at the end of the year and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group. This information includes a discussion of the Key Performance Indicators used by the directors to monitor the business which are:

 
                                                            -- profit before tax 
      *    Sales volumes and revenue 
                                                            -- earnings per share 
      *    gross profit margin 
                                                            -- working capital levels 
      *    operating overheads and central costs 
 

Group result

Group revenue in the year was GBP41,538,000 (2017: GBP41,053,000), and pre-tax profit was GBP885,000 (2017: GBP1,448,000). The trading profit for Hemmers improved this year, however, there were trading losses in Chinoh-Tex and KMR. The main reason for the reduction in profit this year compared to last year is due to the exchange differences arising from retranslation of the intercompany loan between Hemmers and the Parent Company. The Parent Company has previously granted a loan denominated in Euros to its subsidiary Hemmers and, as sterling has weakened during the financial year, an unrealised loss has arisen in the Parent Company and the Group accounts of GBP49,000 (2017: gain GBP310,000).

The tax charge in the year was GBP340,000 (2017: GBP334,000). Earnings per share were 2.0p (2017: 4.1p).

Hemmers Europe

This German-based business is engaged in the import, warehousing and wholesaling of fabrics.

Fabric sales for the year at Hemmers, Leeds Group's principal trading company, in Euro terms are slightly lower than last year at EUR43,342,000 (2017: EUR44,182,000). In sterling terms, however, the revenue increased slightly to GBP38,299,000 (2017: GBP37,544,000) as a result of the weakening of sterling. The pre-tax profit increased in the year to GBP1,123,000 (2017: EUR1,078,000). This was due to an increase in gross margins to 22.1% (2017: 20.8%). Overhead expenditure in local currency increased by 3.1% as a result of increased wages and administration costs. A strategic review coupled with a comprehensive cost review was undertaken during the year to ensure the cost base for Hemmers is aligned to the business activity thus producing increased profitability for Hemmers in the coming year.

In 2014, Hemmers acquired a 50% interest in KMR, a chain of retail fabric and haberdashery stores, at a cost of GBP383,000. In 2015 and 2017 each of the two joint venture partners subscribed for additional capital. KMR is operated as a joint venture. Since the investment KMR has operated profitability, however, this year the Group's share of the post-tax loss of KMR in the year was GBP107,000 (2017: profit GBP33,000). As detailed in the Chairman's statement, since the year end KMR has become a wholly owned subsidiary within the Group.

Hemmers bank debt, net of cash, decreased in the year to GBP4,963,000 (2017: GBP6,619,000). This bank debt is secured on the assets of Hemmers.

Hemmers is working to focus on growing its business both domestically and internationally in both its wholesale and retail markets. The strategic review together with increased synergies with KMR is expected to increase profitability for Hemmers and KMR in the coming year.

Hemmers China

Chinoh-Tex is a textile trading subsidiary of Hemmers. It is based in Shanghai and has been trading for ten years. It purchases fabric from Chinese suppliers and in 2018 sold to customers in 26 countries. 43% of sales were made to EU countries (2017: 31).

External sales revenue was slightly lower this year GBP3,239,000 (2017: GBP3,499,000), with a small fall in volumes, however gross margins were reduced to 15% (2017: 18%). Whilst overhead spending remained at similar levels to last year GBP650,000 (2017: GBP662,000) due to the reduced gross profit margins, Chinoh-Tex's result for the year was a pre-tax loss of GBP86,000 (2017: profit GBP47,000). A review has been undertaken to ensure the cost base is appropriate for the level of business activity and therefore a return to profitability is expected in the current financial year.

Chinoh-Tex provides valuable assistance to its European parent with the purchasing, inspection and shipping of material. Internal sales revenue, based on arms-length prices, amounted to GBP557,000 (2017: GBP511,000). This relationship will be developed and improve profitability for both businesses.

Parent Company's Costs

The Parent Company's net cost in the year was as follows:

 
                                               Year ended      Year ended

                                                   GBP000          GBP000 
 
  Parent Company's costs net of interest

  Exchange (loss)/gain on Group loan                 (49)             310 
 
  Net Parent Company's (cost)/income                 (32)             300 
-----------------------------------------  --------------  -------------- 
 

The Parent Company has previously granted a loan denominated in Euros to its subsidiary Hemmers and, as sterling has weakened during the financial year, an unrealised loss has arisen in the Parent Company and the Group accounts of GBP49,000 (2017: gain GBP310,000). Other costs increased as a result of the Parent Company de-registering for UK VAT.

Fixed Assets

Capital additions in the year amounted to GBP400,000 (2017: GBP2,280,000). The net book amount of tangible fixed assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is GBP8,319,000 (2017: GBP8,452,000).

During the financial year 2017, a subsidiary of the Group acquired a property which was presented within property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Although part of the property is occupied by the subsidiary company, part of the property is rented out externally. Under International Financial Reporting Standards, it is therefore more appropriate to present part of the value of this property as investment property. A prior year adjustment has been made to reclassify GBP565,000 within non-current assets from property, plant and equipment to investment property. Investment property is accounted for using the depreciated cost method, as such this adjustment has no effect on profit, net assets, net debt or EPS in the prior year.

Working Capital

Working capital which comprises inventories, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables decreased in the year by GBP345,000 (2017: increased GBP1,007,000). There were no major changes to the working capital requirements for the Group during the year.

Net Asset Value

Net assets increased in the year by GBP686,000 as follows:

 
                              Net assets    Per share 
                                  GBP000        pence 
 
  At 31 May 2017                  18,302         66.9 
  Profit after tax                   545          2.0 
  Translation differences            141          0.5 
 
  At 31 May 2018                  18,988         69.4 
==========================  ============  =========== 
 

Debt Profile

The funding policy of the Group continues to be to match its funding requirement in trading subsidiaries in a cost-effective fashion with an appropriate combination of short and longer-term debt. Property investments have been financed partly by long term loans of fixed interest rates between 1.5% and 4.07%. Working capital finance, when required, is via short term loans of three months currently attracting interest at approximately 2.5%.

Bank debt in the subsidiaries is secured by charges on inventories, receivables and property and is without recourse to the Parent Company.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Following the UK referendum result in favour of leaving the European Union ("EU"), the economic environment has become much more uncertain. However, the business of Leeds Group is conducted entirely by subsidiaries incorporated in Germany or China, and their exports to the UK account for approximately 3% of Group revenue. For this reason, the Directors do not believe that a material risk to Leeds Group will arise from the terms on which the UK will, in the future, have access to EU markets, and vice versa. Leeds Group do have loans denominated in euros which do carry a currency risk and may be affected by Brexit, however, the directors do not believe the impact would have a material effect on the Group's results as the subsidiary trades in Euros the directors consider this provides a natural hedge.

Of greater risk is the possibility of reduced demand owing to falling consumer confidence, although the business has proved robust in earlier recessions with some evidence that reduced consumer spending on ready-made apparel or furnishings generates increased demand for Hemmers fabrics that customers use to make equivalent goods in the home.

The currency markets in particular dislike the current air of uncertainty surrounding the current negotiations with regard to the UK leaving the EU and sterling has continued to weaken since the UK announced it was leaving the UK. This benefits Leeds Group since, as the pound weakens, the value of the revenues, profits and net assets of foreign subsidiaries are increased in sterling terms. This effect has been seen in both this year's and last year's trading and Statement of Financial Position.

Most fabric purchased by Hemmers is paid for in US dollars, while the Euro is the principal currency in which Hemmers sells its product. Thus the Euro/dollar rate is of greater significance to Leeds Group than the strength of sterling. We shall continue to manage this transactional currency risk by a combination of forward exchange contracts with reputable banks and sales price increases where necessary.

Fire risk is mitigated by insurance, including consequential loss insurance to cover the loss of business opportunity while replacement stocks are obtained. There is an adequate disaster recovery programme in place with regard to essential computer systems. The commercial risks of operating in the highly competitive European fabric market are limited by the fact that Hemmers has a wide range of suppliers, and no customer accounts for more than 5% of revenues.

4. During the financial year 2017, a subsidiary of the Group acquired a property which was presented within property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Although part of the property is occupied by the subsidiary company, part of the property is rented out externally. Under International Financial Reporting Standards, it is therefore more appropriate to present part of the value of this property as investment property. A prior year adjustment has been made to reclassify GBP565,000 within non-current assets from property, plant and equipment to investment property. Investment property is accounted for using the depreciated cost method, as such this adjustment has no effect on profit, net assets, net debt or EPS in the prior year.

5. The financial information set out above does not constitute the company's statutory accounts for 2018 or 2017.

Statutory accounts for the years ended 31 May 2018 and 31 May 2017 have been reported on by the Independent Auditors.

The Independent Auditor's Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for both 2018 and 2017 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.

. Statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2017 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 May 2018 will be delivered to the Registrar in due course. The Annual Report, giving notice of the Annual General Meeting, will be sent to shareholders shortly. Further copies will be available from the Company's Registered Office, Old Mills, Whitehall Grove, Drighlington, Bradford, BD11 1BY or from the Group's website, www.leedsgroup.plc.uk.
