MANAGEMENTS' COMMENTARY
REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Turnover has risen by some 11% during the first half of the year and
profit after tax by 8%. Pressure continues on margins in difficult
trading conditions. Volatile currency movements have also contributed
to trading difficulties in pricing. The second half of the year
indicates that a similar trend is continuing.
Mr. Nash, having served the company for 37 years has retired from the
Board and Mr. Aubrey Lilley has been appointed a director of the
company.
By order of the board
