Unaudited Final Results
for the period ended 2 October 2009
STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN, CAROLYN SIMONS
The continuing and challenging global economic circumstances have had a major
adverse effect on the Company's local and international market sector and are
reflected in the results for the year ended 2 October 2009.
Sales for the year amounted to GBP10.46million (2008: GBP13.49million), a fall
of 22%. Some of this decrease was a direct result of the withdrawal from low
margin contract sales and, excluding the lost revenue attributable to this,
sales were down 18% as compared to the same period last year. Export sales
accounted for 28% of Company sales (2008: 26%).
Despite a very competitive market place, margins were held at the same level as
last year. Operating losses for the year, before exceptional costs, amounted to
GBP617,000 (2008: GBP436,000). This loss includes GBP100,000 of additional bad
debt provisions compared to last year.
International accounting standards require the recognition of unrealised losses
on derivative contracts. The Company entered into a cap and floor agreement with
the bank in June 2008, which has resulted in the requirement for a provision of
GBP168,000 in the year and a restatement of last year's pre tax losses by
GBP173,000.
The significantly increased bad debt risks associated with the sector in which
the Company operates, the lack of credit insurance, and the tightened and more
expensive credit facilities on offer to small businesses in conjunction with the
Company's own strengthened credit controls, have contributed to the shortfall in
sales and made it increasingly difficult to predict future sales with any degree
of certainty. With this in mind, and with the potential for further sales
losses, the Company has accelerated its reorganisation programme based upon a
revision of the Company's 2008 strategic financial model. The revised plan is
due to be completed by the end of March 2010 and includes the closure of smaller
loss-making brands to allow full concentration by management on the Company's
key brands. This revised model should assist the Company in its efforts to move
away from its loss making position and provide a better platform for success on
the back of an eventual economic recovery. We are making satisfactory progress
towards this goal.
Although results continue to be disappointing, management and staff are working
extremely hard to ensure the right platform is in place to build for future
recovery. Despite the current market conditions, the board believes the Company
will be well placed to take advantage of what it hopes to be an improving
economic situation in the coming financial years.

* Excludes treasury shares
The effect of the prior period adjustment on the earnings per share for 2008 was
to increase the basic loss per share from 6.54p to 8.39p per share.
4. Prior period adjustment
The prior period adjustment is caused by the recognition of an interest rate
collar agreement entered into on 12 June 2008. The agreement was for a 15 year
duration and fixes the interest rate at 5.99% on borrowings of GBP1.5 million.
The valuation of the derivative as at 3 October 2008 was GBP173,000 and as at 2
October 2009 was GBP341,000.
The change in fair value of these contacts is recognised in the Income
Statement.
The movement in the fair value of the contact between inception and 3 October
2008 was a loss of GBP173,000. This was not recorded in the financial
statements for the period ended 3 October 2008 and has therefore been recorded
as a prior period adjustment in the current year financial statements.
The derivative contract was not in place at the commencement of the period ended
3 October 2008.

This preliminary announcement was approved by the Board of Directors on 30th
March 2010.
