Commenting on the results Charles Skinner, Chief Executive of Mavinwood, said: 
 
"Over the last 12 months we have successfully disposed of three businesses, 
significantly reduced debt and financially restructured the company to create a 
more robust operating group for shareholders.  The Group now includes document 
storage, which falls under the Restore brand and has exceptional quality of 
earnings, document scanning under the Document Control Services brand.  The data 
handling division has a strong customer base, with long term relationships built 
up over many years. The third arm to the Group is Peter Cox, a leading UK 
specialist in damp-proofing and timber treatment. 
 
I believe that the company is now stable and presents shareholders with an 
exciting growth platform in both data management and other business-to-business 
support services. This growth is expected to be generated both organically and 
by acquisitions." 
 
A resolution will be tabled to shareholders at the Company's AGM which has been 
called for 10:00am on 22 July 2010 at Marble Arch Tower, 55 Bryanston Street, 
London W1H 7AA to change the Company's name to Restore plc in line with the 
Group reorganisation. It is expected that this will become effective on or 
around 28 July 2010 and the Company's ticker will be changed thereafter to RST. 
 
The Notice of AGM also includes a proposal to consolidate the share capital of 
the Company.  The effect of the proposed share consolidation will be that 
shareholders on the Register at the close of business on 22 July 2010 will, on 
the implementation of the share consolidation, exchange 50 existing ordinary 
shares in the capital of the Company for 1 new ordinary share in the capital of 
the Company and in that proportion for any other number of existing ordinary 
shares then held. The proportion of the issued share capital of the Company held 
by each shareholder following the share consolidation will, save for fractional 
entitlements, remain unchanged. Apart from having a different nominal value, 
each new ordinary share will carry the same rights as set out in the Company's 
articles of association that currently attach to an existing ordinary share. 
Following the consolidation the Company will operate under a new ISIN, 
GB00B5NR1S72.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
Background 
 
All of the current board was appointed in June 2009 to reorganise the Group 
which had been created through seven acquisitions of support services companies, 
in Emergency Repair and Document Handling. Since our appointment, two companies 
(Ansa Group and Independent Inspections) have been sold, one (Ansa Building 
Services: 'ABS') has been closed, two have been operationally merged (Restore 
and Wansdyke) and management changes have been made in the remaining two 
(Document Control Services and Peter Cox). We now have a data handling division, 
comprising document storage under the Restore brand, and document scanning under 
the Document Control Services brand. We also have Peter Cox, the leading UK 
specialist in damp-proofing and timber treatment. 
 
Over the last 12 months, the company has been financially restructured with a 
new bank facility put in place in July 2009, an equity investment of GBP8m 
(converted from subordinated debt in April 2010) from Geraldton Services, our 
majority shareholder, and a subordinated loan from Geraldton Services of 
GBP2.3m. Head office has been downsized and relocated to Marble Arch from St 
James's Square in London. It is proposed that the company's name is changed from 
Mavinwood plc to Restore plc at the AGM. 
 
I firmly believe that the company is now stable and represents an exciting 
growth platform in both data management and other business-to-business support 
services. 
 
Results 
 
The results set out in these accounts reflect the many changes undergone over 
the last year. These have involved complex accounting treatments which do not 
make these accounts easy to understand. Your board believes that the status of 
our current trading businesses and our underlying strategic goals are more 
important than the historic figures in understanding the prospects for your 
company. 
 
For the year to 31st December 2009, the Group recorded an operating loss of 
GBP3.8m (2008: GBP0.7m) on revenue from continuing operations of GBP27.0m (2008: 
GBP31.5m). The operating loss was after a GBP5.0m impairment charge on goodwill, 
GBP1.2m of exceptional items, and a credit of GBP1.1m on the reduction in 
share-based payment charges. There was GBP4.0m of finance costs of which GBP2.0m 
were exceptional, producing a loss before tax of GBP7.8m (2008: GBP3.9m). 
 
Trading 
 
Our document handling division recorded an operating profit of GBP3.1m (2008: 
GBP4.7m) on revenue of GBP12.8m (2008: GBP14.7m). Our document storage 
businesses, Restore SE and SW, continued to perform robustly. Our document 
scanning business experienced a sharp fall in revenue and profit as much of its 
project-driven activities were postponed by customers looking to reduce 
short-term cash outflow. 
 
Peter Cox, the damp-proofing and timber treatment business, recorded an 
operating loss of GBP0.3m (2008: profit GBP0.8m) reflecting the downturn in the 
construction market and the weakness in housing transactions. 
 
Head office costs were GBP1.3m (2008: GBP1.6m). The Business Review gives a 
fuller assessment of our businesses' performance and prospects. 
 
Corporate transactions 
 
In June 2009, the company sold Ansa Group and Independent Inspections for 
GBP18.1m which was applied to the reduction of group debt. The loss-making 
insurance-related operations of Ansa Building Services were closed at the end of 
the year. 
 
Balance sheet 
 
Net debt at the year-end was GBP21.6m (2008 restated: GBP35.1m). Debt has 
reduced further since the year-end following the conversion into equity of 
GBP8.0m of subordinated loans from Geraldton Services, our majority shareholder. 
 
 
 
Board 
 
The board in its entirety was changed between June and July 2009. Charles 
Skinner, Andrew Wilson and I were appointed to the board at the beginning of 
June. The previous non-executive directors, Philip Reid and Bob Guthrie, 
resigned on our appointment. Steve Watkins resigned on the sale of Ansa at the 
end of June. Kevin Mahoney and Mike Vincent resigned at the end of July. 
 
People 
 
The two years up to 31st December 2009 have been a difficult time for many of 
the people working in our businesses. The poor performance of the Group over 
this period did not reflect any lack of commitment or ability amongst them. I 
thank them for their hard work and dedication and look forward to them sharing 
in the future success of the companies. 
 
Strategy 
 
The bulk of our continuing business is in data management.  This is a very 
exciting area, particularly given the fact that the amount of electronic data in 
the world has doubled in the last year. Our largest and most profitable business 
is in hard copy storage, where we have many years of storing, organising and 
retrieving documents for over 1,000 customers. This is undertaken by Restore, 
with which we have merged our Wansdyke storage business. We also have scope to 
increase our storage capacity through our secure, 70-acre underground facility 
in Wiltshire, in addition to our above-ground facilities in Surrey, Kent and 
Cornwall. 
 
Through DCS, our scanning business, we have many years experience in turning 
hard copy documents into electronic data. This business has sophisticated 
technology and experience to organise and index data which our customers can 
access in many different ways, including through Sapaview, our on-line browsing 
facility. We also use optical character recognition and off-shore manual copying 
to enable customers to manipulate and search scanned documents. 
 
Our skill, experience and strong relationships with our customers' data 
management teams puts us in an excellent position to help our customers manage 
both their hard and soft copy data more efficiently. We will be developing this 
capability aggressively over the next year, while still continuing to support 
our customers in our existing, highly cash-generative current activities. 
 
The Group's senior management has particular skills in the UK 
business-to-business support services sector. We intend in due course to develop 
the Group's activities in this space, beyond our current core business in data 
management. 
 
Outlook 
 
Our Restore business has continued to perform strongly in the current year, with 
both revenue and profit showing year-on-year improvement. DCS has continued to 
struggle to convert much of its strong pipeline into orders but we are confident 
that this will happen in due course. Peter Cox is showing year-on-year 
improvement and can be expected to operate profitably this year. 
 
Head Office costs will show a further sharp year-on-year decline. Interest 
charges will fall steeply following the reduction in group debt, including the 
conversion of most of the subordinated debt into equity completed in April of 
this year. We still have several empty properties from discontinued activities 
but these have been fully provided against. Accordingly, the company's current 
year performance can be expected to bear little resemblance to the preceding two 
years. 
 
We currently have three well-positioned businesses with excellent products, 
people and prospects. We have a sensible balance sheet and the strong support of 
our majority shareholder. I am greatly looking forward to the exciting and 
profitable development of our company.

BUSINESS REVIEW 
 
 
STRUCTURE 
 
At the start of the year the Mavinwood Group comprised two divisions, Document 
Handling and Emergency Repair. On 26 June 2009 the company sold two of its 
Emergency Repair businesses, Ansa Holdings Limited and Independent Inspections 
Limited; the results of those businesses have been shown as discontinued as well 
as Ansa Building Services which ceased to trade on 31 December 2009.  The 
Document Handling division has been classified as continuing operations. The 
continuing operation referred to in these results as Emergency Repair relates 
only to Peter Cox Limited.

*before amortisation of intangible assets 
 
These are the key results from the ongoing businesses which are included in the 
fuller statement set out under 'Loss Before Tax' below. 
 
DOCUMENT HANDLING 
 
Restore 
 
The activities of our two document storage activities, Restore and Wansdyke have 
now been operationally merged and trade under the Restore brand. 
 
The majority of Restore's sales are the storage and retrieval of hard copy 
documents, typically stored in cardboard boxes at locations in Surrey, Kent, 
Wiltshire and Cornwall. Restore also stores and retrieves individual files, 
magnetic data (typically for emergency back-up), film and other materials. It 
also offers retrieval of documents by scanning. It derives additional service 
income from reorganisation of customer documents, document restoration, and the 
shredding of documents no longer required by customers. Additional products 
include file-tracking services enabling customers to locate documents within 
their own buildings. 
 
Restore services a broad range of customers, predominantly across Southern 
England and South Wales reflecting the geographical location of its storage 
sites. Our largest customer sector are law firms who are probably the most 
demanding and sophisticated users of storage services; this ensures Restore is 
at the cutting edge of developments in physical document storage and monitors 
closely the developments in electronic data management.  Most other commercial, 
industrial and public sectors are represented amongst Restore's customer base, 
with particular strengths in financial services, larger corporates, councils and 
health trusts. These represent an excellent channel to market for other data 
management services. 
 
Restore operates from both freehold and leasehold sites. Our main freehold 
property is our high-security underground facility near Bath, where we estimate 
we have enough spare space available for development for the medium term 
expansion of Restore through to 2014. 
 
Trading at Restore was steady in 2009, despite the downturn in overall UK 
economic activity. This reflects Restore's robust business model which combines 
high visibility, excellent cash-flow and steadiness of income to produce 
excellent quality of earnings. The small drop in year-on-year revenue  reflected 
lower retrieval activity and a reduction in the amount of project income (both 
reflecting the tough economic environment), together with the Group's new 
management's more prudent approach within our existing revenue recognition 
policy to earnings recognition. This fed through to Restore's year-on-year 
profitability but current trading indicates that Restore's long-term trajectory 
of steadily increasing revenue and profit in its core business will continue for 
the foreseeable future. 
 
Document Control Services (DCS) 
 
DCS is our Peterborough-based scanning business. Its main function is the 
conversion of hard-copy documents into electronic data. As part of this service, 
it organises and indexes the electronic versions, enabling its customers to 
identify and locate their data more efficiently. Its optical character 
recognition (OCR) technology enables scanned documents to be manipulated and 
searched. It often uses off-shore technicians to facilitate this where OCR 
technology is not sufficiently developed, typically on complex engineering 
plans. It has developed its own online browser enabling customers to view their 
data online. 
 
DCS's origins lie in the engineering sector where it has many specialist 
products such as Pipetracker, its own technology for tracking materials used in 
the construction of oil pipelines. A large percentage of its customers are still 
in the infrastructure sector, including Network Rail and the Highways Agency. It 
is well-represented in the public sector with customers including The Crown 
Estates, health and local authorities. Recent capital investment in a high-speed 
scanner has enabled it to offer a high-volume service, particularly for 
customers whose more complex needs can also be serviced. 
 
DCS suffered in 2009 from the postponement of many large projects from customers 
seeking to conserve cash in the short term. This is understandable as much of 
DCS's activities are for project work which can be deferred. The impact of this 
was a 37% decline in revenue. Costs have been cut, including the redundancy of 
two of the four executive directors, enabling DCS to continue to operate 
profitably. Both Group and DCS management are confident that DCS will recover 
rapidly, particularly as it retains strong relationships with its customers who 
have indicated that the deferred projects remain a medium-term requirement for 
their operations. 
 
DCS is in a particularly interesting space in the data management market as it 
is at the cross-roads between the increasingly integrated hard and soft document 
needs of organisations. Given the sophistication of its technology, its strong 
customer relationships and its understanding of data movement within many 
different types of customers, the Group views DCS as a business at an 
interesting point of development, where its recent weak financial performance 
can be expected to be reversed rapidly. 
 
Document Handling Summary 
 
These activities now form our Data Management division. We expect Restore and 
DCS to work increasingly closely together. The financial dynamics of the 
businesses are different: Restore's remarkable quality of earnings compares to 
DCS's more project-driven and thus lumpier earnings streams. Nevertheless, they 
share similar channels to market and give the Group a wealth of expertise and 
experience in understanding the data management needs of customers. We believe 
that their combined strengths will enable us to broaden our value-added data 
management services for both our existing customers and the wider UK market. 
 
 
EMERGENCY REPAIR 
 
Peter Cox is the only company remaining in what was this division. Peter Cox 
operates 12 branches nationwide and is the UK's leading provider of damp 
control, timber preservation and masonry services to private, public sector and 
commercial property, principally housing. 
 
Unlike our Data Management activities, over a third of Peter Cox's business is 
outside the business-to-business service sector. Indeed, it is probably 
best-known for its services to home-owners for the last 50 years as the leading 
supplier of damp-proofing and timber preservation services, often used at the 
time of purchasing a new home. Nevertheless, the bulk of its work is providing 
services to local authorities (often as a subcontractor to facilities managers 
who rely on Peter Cox for its specialist skills) and commercial developers. 
 
2009 was a difficult year for Peter Cox, with the slowdown in residential 
property transactions reducing the need for surveys and subsequent remedial 
work. The even sharper drop-off in commercial development compounded the 
problems it faced. Further, Peter Cox's extrication from the rest of our 
Emergency Recovery activities was complex and distracting for management. 
Against this background, the 15% decline in revenue was understandable albeit 
disappointing. The loss of GBP0.3m compared to a reported profit in 2008 of 
GBP0.8m overstated the decline in profitability as the treatment of certain 
internal charges flattered the 2008 performance. 
 
Peter Cox provides an excellent service. It has a well-known brand and a great 
reputation, as reflected in its gross margins which exceed 40%. Following the 
recent appointment of a new Executive Chairman, we are confident that the 
business will return to profitable performance. We also believe that its brand 
and skilled technician base can be expanded into providing additional services 
to those it currently supplies. 
 
ABS 
 
ABS operated an insurance building fabric contract in the North West. This 
contract was  terminated on 31 December 2009 and the company ceased to trade. 
 
DEBT AND INTEREST 
 
Net interest payable pre exceptional finance costs amounted to GBP1,984,000 
(2008 restated: GBP3,119,000). Included within the finance cost is GBPnil (2008: 
GBP121,000) representing the notional interest on contingent consideration due 
on the acquisitions of Peter Cox and DCS in 2008. The discount rate applied in 
this calculation was 7.9%. 
 
Net debt at the year-end was GBP21.6m (2008: GBP35.1m). Debt has reduced further 
since the year-end following the conversion into equity of GBP8.0m of 
subordinated loans from Geraldton Services, our majority shareholder. 
 
TAXATION 
 
The amortisation and impairment of intangible assets, the notional interest on 
the contingent consideration and the share based payments charge do not attract 
any tax relief. However, the underlying tax rate during 2009 was 28.0%, as a 
percentage of adjusted profit before taxation (2008: 28.5%). 
 
LOSS BEFORE TAX 
 
The loss before tax for the year ended 31 December 2009 for continuing 
operations was GBP7,790,000 (2008 restated: GBP3,852,000). However, the 
Directors believe that an adjusted measure of (loss)/profit before tax and 
earnings per share provides shareholders with a more appropriate representation 
of the underlying earnings derived from the Mavinwood Group's business. The 
items adjusted for in arriving at that underlying level are as follows:

Basic EPS is (2.15)p, which compares with (7.52)p in 2008. Basic EPS adjusted as 
above was (0.08)p (2008: 0.15p). Assuming the exercise of all options and awards 
under the LTIP in 2009 at an average price of 1.79p plus the conversion of the 
convertible A shares (2008: 11.4p), the fully diluted adjusted EPS becomes 
(0.08)p (2008:0.14p). 
 
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION 
 
Net assets decreased to GBP4m mainly as a result of the disposal of Ansa and 
Independent Inspections and impairment of Document Control services Limited as 
described earlier and also reflecting the loss for the year. Goodwill and 
intangibles on the retained business at 31 December 2009 was GBP18.6m (2008: 
retained business GBP21.8m). 
 
Property, plant and equipment totalled GBP11.5m (2008: GBP10.9m) principally 
comprising the freehold underground storage facilities at Restore SW, but also 
computer systems, storage racking and vehicles. 
 
Operating working capital from continuing operations (excluding cash) amounted 
to a net GBP5.2m at 31 December 2009.  Net debt at 31 December 2009 totalled 
GBP21.6m (2008: GBP35.1m) after deferred financing costs of GBPnil (2008: 
GBP0.3m). 
 
CASH FLOW 
 
The net cash inflow from continuing operations before capital expenditure was 
GBP5.2m (2008 restated: GBP6.6m). Capital expenditure on the continuing business 
totalled GBP2.0m (2008 restated: GBP2.7m) compared to depreciation of GBP0.6m 
(2008 restated: GBP0.5m).  Significant expenditure comprised the fitting out of 
empty space in the underground storage areas at Restore SW and installing new 
racking at Restore SE and SW. 
 
RISK MANAGEMENT 
 
The significant financial risks the Group faces have been considered and 
policies have been implemented to best deal with each risk. The three most 
significant risks are considered to be liquidity risk, finance cost risk and 
customer relationship risk. The Group is wholly based in the United Kingdom so 
the direct exposure to exchange risk is considered to be small. 
 
Liquidity risk 
The year end net debt was GBP21.6 million, which consisted of GBP26.2 million of 
interest bearing loans and borrowings less GBP4.6 million of cash and short term 
deposits. This was reduced in April 2010 by the conversion into equity of GBP8 
million of Geraldton Services subordinated debt. 
 
Finance cost risk 
The Group pays finance costs on its bank facilities and finance leases. The bank 
facilities finance cost is a variable cost linked to LIBOR plus a margin. In 
2009 an interest rate collar at between 2% and 4% on principal of GBP7 million 
was taken for 3 years. The cap cost GBPnil and at 31 December 2009 GBP(75,000) 
was charged to the Income Statement. The average finance cost for the Group in 
2009 was 4.5% (2008: 7.7%). 
 
Customer relationships 
The Group has commercial relationships with over 1,000 business customers. The 
largest of these accounts for less than 5% of Group revenue.

3    TAX 
 
The underlying tax charge is based on the expected effective tax rate for the 
full year to 31 December 2009 and is calculated as 28.0% on profit before tax. 
 
 
4   EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE 
 
Basic earnings per share have been calculated on the (loss)/profit for the year 
after taxation and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue 
during the year. 
 
Adjusted earnings per share which are before amortisation and impairment of 
intangible assets, exceptional items, share based payments credit and notional 
interest on contingent consideration have been presented in addition to the 
basic earnings per share since, in the opinion of the directors, this provides 
shareholders with a more appropriate representation of the underlying earnings 
derived from the Group's businesses.
