PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE YEARED 31ST MARCH 2018
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
It is pleasing to report the results for the year, which although a little bit down on the previous one, were still satisfactory.
Sales revenue was up to GBP14.354m (2017: GBP13.053m) although profit before tax was GBP1.177m (2017: GBP1.234m). The operating profit was GBP1.335m (2017: GBP1.444m). Operating profit has reduced a little, reflecting investment in overseas markets, with a margin of 9.3%, compared to 11.1% last year.
During the year, sterling appreciated after its sharp decline following the Brexit vote, reducing profitability on export sales. At the same time, the business invested in its sales infrastructure, principally to benefit future export sales. These combined to reduce our current margins.
Moving forward to the future and the current financial year, we must be very cautious. Shareholders must be sick of me saying it, but uncertainty is the worst thing for a good business environment. We certainly have plenty of uncertainty at the moment.
In constructing our budget this year, we consulted with some of our larger customers, particularly in the UK, about their own budgets. These varied from cautious to the downright pessimistic. Our own order book is down on what it was last year, which reflects the lack of sizeable contracts, again caused by others fearing to commit. On the other side of the coin we have some first class products including our expanding Landmark range of taps and accessories and the much tested Powermatic door closer. We also have active, if sometime erratic, export markets, which are the result of much thought and hard work over the years.
We are budgeting for a sales and profit figure down on last year, whilst remaining profitable, and at the time of writing are achieving our budgeted levels.
Our current profitability and strength of the Balance Sheet allow us to recommend, in addition to the interim dividend of 5.5p which was paid in March, a final dividend at the same level as last year, at 6.875p, which will be paid on 17th August 2018 to shareholders registered as at 20th July 2018.

NOTES TO THE PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Basis of preparation
The Group has prepared its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those included in the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017.
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 31 March 2018 were approved by the Board of Directors on 11 July 2018 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 2017 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's reports on the statutory accounts for the years ended 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2017 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.

------- -------
In addition to the dividends paid during the year the directors are recommending a final dividend for 2018 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 GBP980,000 (2017: GBP1,013,000) by the average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year 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.
7. Notice of annual general meeting
Notice is hereby given that the 2018 Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held at the registered office of the Company, Leopold Street, Birmingham, on 10(th) August 2018 at 12.00 noon. The final dividend of 6.875 pence, if approved, will be payable on 17(th) August 2018 to ordinary shareholders registered at close of business on 20(th) July 2018.
