Barring unforeseen circumstances in the countries and markets in which the Group operates, the Board therefore views the future with confidence."

Chairman's statement

I am pleased to present my first Chairman's statement since completion of the reverse takeover of Manroy Systems Limited and the subsequent admission to AIM in December 2010. This half yearly report includes a three months' contribution from Manroy Systems Limited from completion of the acquisition on 23 December 2010 to 31 March 2011.

Shareholders will be familiar from the AIM Admission Document with the events of the first part of the period under review, which led to Manroy Systems' GBP3.1m acquisition together with a GBP6.0m fund raising through a share placing at 75p per share. The net impact of this was to transform your company from an unquoted cash shell into the UK's leading manufacturer of machine guns, in particular the Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) along with the associated provision of support services, maintenance and spares. The Company's shares also became quoted and traded on AIM following this acquisition.

The revenue contribution from Manroy Systems amounted to GBP3.0m for the six months to 31 March 2011 resulting in pre-tax profits for the period of GBP1,143,000 against a loss of GBP33,000 in the comparable period a year earlier. The Company's results this year reflect the expensing of costs incurred on the acquisition and the positive effect of negative goodwill arising on the acquisition. This negative goodwill arose from the increase in net assets of Manroy Systems to the date of our purchase in comparison to the purchase price paid, against which the Group is only recording three months' results from Manroy Systems from the date of purchase to 31 March 2011. These results translated into earnings per share of 12.5p compared to a loss of 1.1p per share last year.

As a result of this strong first half performance, the Board has declared an interim dividend of 1p per ordinary share, payable on 15 July 2011 to shareholders on the register on 17 June 2011. In the Company's AIM Admission Document, the Board indicated that the Company would recommence the payment of dividends on publication of its financial statements for the year ending 30 September 2011. The Board is pleased that the Company is able to recommence dividend payments earlier than previously indicated, and it also intends to recommend that the Company pays the same amount as a final dividend on publication of those financial statements.

We have also included in the notes, the Consolidated Income Statement for the Manroy Systems subgroup for the six months to 31 March 2011 which shows revenue of GBP6.1m for the period, a 32% increase over the March 2010 half year, and pre-tax profits of GBP1.3m against GBP0.9m in the comparable period.

The period under review has been one of transformation for the Company. The board expects this process to continue as Manroy grows both its product range and its area of operations. The Company has made four appointments to the Board during the period. As well as the addition in December 2010 of Glyn Bottomley and Paul Carter, Chief Executive and Finance Director respectively, we have appointed a further two non-executives - Gerry Clark and Brian O'Donnell. These appointments were made in February this year and we are pleased to have their additional expertise available to the Company. Further key senior operational managers have also been appointed demonstrating the Company's commitment to its ongoing development.

Since the period end Manroy has acquired the business and assets of AEI Land Systems for GBP250,000 in cash, together with an earn-out at the lower of 7% of AEI related turnover and 50% of post-tax profit generated from the acquired assets. The earn-out is only payable for two years from the date of acquisition and will be funded entirely from the profits of the AEI business acquired. The Board sees this as an important transaction in that it brings a profitable complementary business into the Company.

The Board considers Manroy's business has developed positively during the first six months of this financial year. The enlarged group has a strong future with the ability to generate long term sustainable income streams from its core business, as well as being able to grow through acquisition. Barring unforeseen circumstances in the countries and markets in which the Group operates, I therefore view the future with confidence.

Chief Executive's review

This has been an exciting period for Manroy and I am delighted to have joined the board of the Company as Chief Executive. We have made a number of positive developments during the six months ended 31 March 2011 and since the period, details of which are set out in this report.

In January 2011 Manroy announced the signing of a GBP1.3m spare parts contract with a Middle East Government and a three year technical support contract with the UK Ministry of Defence. This was followed in May by the award of a five year blank ammunition contract for GBP4.1m with the UK MoD. These all augur well for our future performance.

During this first half of the Company's financial year, certain overseas markets in which the Group operates have been adversely affected. In some instances this has delayed sales orders that the Company had previously expected to be awarded during this period. Nevertheless, the Company has worked hard to secure alternative business opportunities and expects profits and earnings per share for the year ending 30 September 2011 to be broadly in line with market expectations. These delayed sales orders are now expected to be received during the year ending 30 September 2012.

It is worth explaining that the Group does not accept export orders from any embargoed country and Manroy adheres strictly to UK legislation concerning the sale of armaments and weapons to foreign countries and governments.

There are a number of long term overseas contracts being tendered for by the Group. These are in regions where our main competitors have previously enjoyed success but where Manroy now considers itself to be well positioned to compete for these significant contracts. The acquisition of the AEI Land Systems assets in April this year has also extended the Group's product range and strength, thereby enabling Manroy to actively bid for more wide ranging system solutions to existing and potential customers in export opportunities.

Shareholders will recall that at the time of the Company's Admission to AIM, the Company had an option to acquire 49% of Manroy USA ("MUSA") from Caledonian Heritable Limited. This option was to be exercised by the Company by 31 March 2011 for approximately GBP1.6m, payable in cash or shares issued at the 75p placing price at Caledonian Heritable's election. On 1 April 2011, Manroy announced that this option had been extended to 30 June 2011.

This extension was necessitated because MUSA had acquired the business and assets of Sabre Defence Industries (rather than the company itself) for $6.0m in cash in March 2011. As a result of this acquisition, further due diligence is being undertaken on the enlarged business. This acquisition significantly increased MUSA's size, capability and prospects in the US, which is the world's largest defence market. The Board believes that Manroy's future prospects in the US would be materially enhanced if the Company exercises its option to acquire 49% of MUSA, as it provides Manroy with access to high technology manufacturing capability for M2 HMG barrels, Quick Change Barrel kits and parts, as well as production capability for M4, M5 and M16 rifles. Sabre's principal customer was the US Department of Defense, which it supplied for a number of years.

The Board believes the potential acquisition of a major interest in MUSA creates a key opportunity for Manroy to accelerate its penetration of the US defence market, and enables the Group to capitalise on its long and extensive experience of manufacturing the M2 HMG, associated parts, and Quick Change Barrel technology. A further announcement relating to the option to acquire 49% of MUSA will be made in due course.

Overall, the six months ended 31 March 2011 was a positive period for Manroy and this momentum has continued since the period end. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees for their hard work during this transition period and all our shareholders for their support. I look forward to the ongoing development of the Group over the remainder of the financial year and into the future.
