Unaudited preliminary results for the year ended 30 November 2008 
 
 
1st Dental Laboratories plc (AIM; FDT) the UK's largest and leading provider of 
dental laboratory products to the dental profession, announces its preliminary 
results for the year ended 30 November 2008: 
 
 
 
 
Chairman's Statement 
 
 
The year to November 2008 has presented the business with a number of 
challenges, namely the business disruptions at Blackpool and Stourport that were 
outside the control of management and, which in the year has equalled a loss of 
turnover approaching GBP1m. We also saw a change in senior management with the 
appointment of Nigel Spring as Managing Director. 
 
 
During the year we saw an unsolicited offer being made for the company. This was 
a distraction for senior management that we could have done without. In addition 
there was the cost of the process for the company having to employ a rule 3 
advisor and legal advice which together came at a cost to the company in excess 
of GBP80k (forming part of non-recurring cost of GBP172k). 
 
 
Despite the above I am pleased to report that the disruptions and loss of 
turnover are being mitigated with recovery on course at Blackpool, and Stourport 
almost fully recovered to previous trading and profit contribution levels. 
 
 
Other core laboratories continued to perform as generally expected with some 
very pleasing results being turned in, especially from our Sheffield, Ripley and 
Bedlington Laboratories, all of whom provided results in both turnover and 
profit contribution significantly over budget. We are pleased with these efforts 
especially given the backdrop of the UK's current economic environment. 
 
 
In the year we have also seen investment of GBP0.2m in our Paignton Laboratory 
with a move to new state of the art laboratory premises. The move was completed 
with no disruption at all, which is testament to all the effort of the staff and 
management involved. 
 
 
With regard to eteeth, since the launch in 2007, we have seen significant growth 
yet again with sales having increased 647% on the previous year. Since launch we 
have, and continue to witness, a cumulative average growth rate of 13.2% month 
on month. This product has enhanced our relationship with current and new 
dentist clients. We have gained a large amount of confidence from what has been 
a limited product offering. It is our intention to expand the offering to UK 
dentists and we are currently considering further overseas opportunities. The 
market competition to eteeth is regarded by us to be poor, which in turn is 
creating a level of spin-off business back to eteeth as the UK's market leader. 
 
 
As we closed the year and after much market analysis, we have made the decision 
to invest in all our laboratories with regard to the introduction of new and 
advanced restoration techniques and equipment, especially with regards to 
Zirconia production, and to follow this up with extensive investment in 
technician and technical training programmes. It is our wish to have all of our 
laboratories becoming regional centres of technical excellence, providing an 
unprecedented service to our new and established client base. 
 
 
We see very real opportunity of moving forward with what we believe to be new 
and innovative products and services that will be rolled out in 2009. Further, 
in order to protect our turnover and grow organically, we have put in place a 
regional sales force of seven staff, the size of which is a first for our 
industry, and early results are ahead of the Board's expectations. 
 
 
In summary, 2008 was a troublesome year with the results being below market 
expectations as well as those of the Directors. The disruptions encountered 
could not have been anticipated, but the changes made during the year, including 
the strengthening of management, and the plans for 2009 and beyond are, we 
believe, based on a strong market analysis and anticipate the requirements of 
the market place and the environment in which we operate.

  Notes to the unaudited preliminary results 
  1.  The financial information set out herein does not constitute the Group's 
  statutory accounts for the year ended 30 November 2008 but is derived from those 
  financial statements. The statutory accounts will be finalised on the basis of 
  the financial information presented by the directors in this preliminary 
  announcement and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the 
  Annual General Meeting.  The comparative information in respect of the year 
  ended 30 November 2007 has been derived from the audited statutory accounts for 
  the year ended on that date, as restated for the first time adoption of 
  International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as referred to below, upon 
  which an unqualified audit opinion was expressed and which did not contain a 
  statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. The audited 
  financial statements will be available by contacting the Company Secretary at 
  the Company's Registered Office. 
  2.  Basis of preparation 
 
The financial information has been prepared and approved by the directors in 
accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union and IFRIC interpretations 
issued and effective at the time of preparing these statements. The first time 
adoption of IFRS has impacted on the year's results. The principal changes 
relate to the acquisition of subsidiaries (treatment of goodwill and intangible 
assets). 
The rules for first time adoption of IFRS are set out in IFRS1 'First time 
adoption of international financial reporting standards'. In accordance with 
IFRS1, the Company has determined its IFRS accounting policies and has applied 
these retrospectively to determine its opening balance sheet under IFRS. The 
accounting policies adopted are set out at Note 6. 
The Group has taken the business combination exemption, which allows that IFRS3 
not be applied to business combinations that took place prior to 1 December 
2006, the date of transition to IFRS. Estimates under IFRS at the date of 
transition are consistent with the estimates made at the same time under UK 
GAAP.  The Group has also taken the share based payments exemption and, 
accordingly, IFRS2 has only been applied to awards granted after 7 November 
2002. 
Reconciliations and explanations of the effect of the transition from UK GAAP to 
IFRS on the Group's equity and its profit or loss are set out at Note 5.  As a 
result of adopting IFRS, there have also been numerous changes to the 
presentation of the financial statements. 
Further, the Group has identified the need to recognise a prior year restatement 
in respect of two matters. 
  1.  A provision of GBP435,000 has been made at 30 November 2007 for a potential VAT 
  liability relating to income recognised in 2007 and 2006. This includes a charge 
  of GBP210,000 arising in each of the years ended 30 November 2007 and 2006, plus 
  interest of GBP15,000 in 2007 relating to accrued interest on overdue amounts. 
  This has reduced opening reserves at 1 December 2006 by GBP210,000 with a 
  corresponding increase in creditors. The profit for the year ended 30 November 
  2007 has been reduced by GBP225,000 relating to accrued VAT of GBP210,000 and 
  interest of GBP15,000 and a corresponding increase in creditors by the same 
  amount. The Directors consider that there are potentially mitigating 
  circumstances that may offset this liability in part or in whole, but have 
  prudently not recognised any of this potential mitigation until it is agreed 
  with HMRC. 
  2.  GBP25,000 has been provided against the value of inventories as a result of 
  non-compliance with SSAP9 and IAS2. 
 
The financial impact of these matters along with the financial impact of the 
translation to IFRS is set out at Note 5.

  *  A provision of GBP435,000 has been made at 30 November 2007 for a potential VAT 
  liability relating to income recognised in 2007 and 2006. This includes a charge 
  of GBP210,000 arising in each of the years ended 30 November 2007 and 2006, plus 
  interest of GBP15,000 in 2007 relating to accrued interest on overdue amounts. 
  This has reduced opening reserves at 1 December 2006 by GBP210,000 with a 
  corresponding increase in creditors. The profit for the year ended 30 November 
  2007 has been reduced by GBP225,000 relating to accrued VAT of GBP210,000 and 
  interest of GBP15,000 and a corresponding increase in creditors by the same 
  amount. The Directors consider that there are potentially mitigating 
  circumstances that may offset this liability in part or in whole, but have 
  prudently not recognised any of this potential mitigation until it is agreed 
  with HMRC. 
  *  The Group's inventory valuation policy did not comply with SSAP9 and IAS2.  The 
  adjustment above of GBP25,000 reflects compliance with SSAP9 as at 30 November 
  2006 and as at 30 November 2007, hence there is no impact on the consolidated 
  income statement for the year ended 30 November 2007. 
  *  Under IFRS, the Group is required not to amortise goodwill but to capitalise it 
  as at 1 December 2006 and to annually test it for permanent impairment. 
  Accordingly, the adjustment above reflects the write back of amortisation of 
  goodwill charged to the consolidated income statement under UK GAAP of 
  GBP415,000 for the year ended 30 November 2007. 
  *  Under IFRS, the Group is required to recognise all employment related 
  liabilities. Accordingly, the Group has accrued for holiday pay earned but not 
  paid. This amount of the accrual required is GBP25,000 as at 30 November 2006 
  and as at 30 November 2007, hence there is no impact on the consolidated income 
  statement for the year ended 30 November 2007.

6.Significant accounting policies 
Basis of consolidation 
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the 
Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and 
operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In 
assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable or 
convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are 
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control 
commences until the date that control ceases. 
 
 
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of 
subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair 
value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or 
assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the 
acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent 
liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their 
fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority 
interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the 
Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. 
If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of net assets of the 
subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income 
statement. 
 
 
All intra-group balances and transactions, including unrealised profits arising 
from intra-group transactions, are eliminated fully on consolidation. 
 
 
Changes in accounting policies 
 
 
The Group has adopted the following standards in the year: 
 
 
IFRS 7, "Financial Instruments Disclosures" which introduces new disclosures 
relating to financial instruments and does not have any impact on the 
classification and valuation of the Group or Company's financial instruments, of 
the disclosures relating to taxation and trade and other payables. 
 
 
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions 
 
 
The key assumptions concerning the future, and other sources of estimation 
uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a 
material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the 
next financial year are discussed below: 
 
 
Impairment of goodwill - The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at 
least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the "value in use" of 
the cash generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating a value 
in use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future 
cash flows from the cash generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount 
rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. 
 
 
Deferred tax assets - Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax 
losses to the extent that it is more likely than not that taxable profit will be 
available against which the losses can be utilised. Significant 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. 
 
 
Share based payment - The estimation of the fair value of share options and 
other equity instruments at their date of grant requires management to make 
estimates concerning the expected volatility of the underlying shares, the 
dividends payable on the shares and the time at which employees are likely to 
exercise vested options. 
 
 
Debtors - Debtors are recognised to the extent that they are judged recoverable. 
Management reviews are performed to estimate the level of reserves required for 
irrecoverable debt. Provisions are made specifically against invoices where 
recoverability is uncertain. 
 
 
Segmental reporting 
The directors consider that the Group operates only one class of business, being 
the manufacture of dental appliances. All turnover and operating losses 
originate in the UK therefore geographical analysis has not been presented. 
 
 
Property, plant and equipment 
Property, plant and equipment are held at cost less accumulated depreciation and 
impairment charges.  The cost of property, plant and equipment is the purchase 
price, together with any directly attributable costs of acquisition. 
 
 
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the 
cost less estimated residual value, which is based on up to date prices, of 
property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives as follows: 
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ 
| Freehold land                                | -  Nil                            | 
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ 
| Leasehold improvements                       | -  shorter of remaining life or   | 
|                                              | 50 years                          | 
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ 
| Plant and machinery                          | -10 years                         | 
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ 
| Fixtures and fittings                        | -4 years                          | 
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ 
| Computer equipment                           | -4 years                          | 
+----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ 
 
 
Intangible assets - Goodwill 
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value 
of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of 
acquisition.  The cost of acquisition represents the fair value of all 
consideration given in return for the assets acquired.  Goodwill on acquisition 
of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested annually 
for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 
 
 
Intangible assets - Licences 
Software licences are capitalised and amortised over their useful economic life 
of five years. The cost of the licence is the purchase price plus any incidental 
costs of acquisition. 
 
 
Impairment 
The carrying amount of the Group's non-financial assets are reviewed at each 
balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. 
If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. 
 
 
For goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets 
that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each 
balance sheet date. 
 
 
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its 
cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are 
recognised in the consolidated income statement. 
 
 
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount 
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the 
asset's fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. For the purposes of 
assessing impairments, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there 
are identifiable cash flows. 
 
 
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated 
first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cash-generating 
units (group of units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other 
assets of the unit (group of units) on a pro-rata basis. 
 
 
Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less 
allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Where receivables are considered to be 
irrecoverable an impairment charge is included in the income statement. 
 
 
Classification of financial instruments issued by the Group 
Following the adoption of IAS32 'Financial instruments: presentation', financial 
instruments issued by the Group are treated as equity only to the extent that 
they meet the following two conditions: 
 
 
-they include no contractual obligations upon the group to deliver cash or other 
financial assets or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with 
another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the group; 
and 
 
-where the instrument will or may be settled in the company's own equity 
instruments, it is either a non-derivative that includes no obligation to 
deliver a variable number of the company's own equity instruments or is a 
derivative that will be settled by the company's exchanging a fixed amount of 
cash or other financial assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments. 
 
 
To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are 
classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument so classified takes 
the legal form of the company's own shares, the amounts presented in these 
financial statements for called up share capital and share premium account 
exclude amounts in relation to those shares. 
 
 
Finance payments associated with financial liabilities are dealt with as part of 
finance expenses. Finance payments associated with financial instruments that 
are classified in equity are treated as distributions and are recorded directly 
in equity. 
 
 
Financial assets 
The Group classifies its financial assets depending on the purpose for which the 
asset was acquired. The Group has the following financial assets: 
 
 
Loans and receivables: These assets are non-derivative financial assets with 
fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They 
arise principally through the provision of services to customers (trade 
receivables). They are carried at fair value on initial recognition less 
provision for impairment. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, 
deposits held at call with banks and bank overdrafts. 
 
 
Financial liabilities 
Financial liabilities are comprised of termed loan facilities and trade 
payables, which are recognised at amortised cost. 
 
 
Interest bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less 
attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, 
interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference 
between cost and redemption value being recognised in profit or loss over the 
period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis. 
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances. 
 
Revenue recognition 
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic 
benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. 
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding 
discounts and rebates. 
 
 
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and 
rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, usually on despatch 
of the goods. 
 
 
Leases 
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of 
ownership are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating 
lease rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over 
the term of the lease. 
 
 
Leases where the Group acts as lessee and obtains substantially all of the risks 
and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases or hire purchase 
agreements. Assets held under finance leases or hire purchase agreements are 
capitalised and depreciated over their useful economic lives. The capital 
element of the future obligations under finance leases and hire purchase 
contracts are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. The interest 
elements of the rental obligations are charged to the income statement over the 
periods of the finance leases and hire purchase agreements and represent a 
constant proportion of the balance of capital outstanding. 
 
 
Inventories 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realiseable value. Cost 
includes all costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and 
condition. Raw materials are stated at purchase cost. Work in progress includes 
the cost of materials and labour plus attributable overheads based on a normal 
activity level. Net realiseable value is based upon estimated selling price less 
any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal. 
 
 
Non-recurring items 
Non-recurring items are material items in the Income Statement which derive from 
events or transactions which fall within the ordinary activities of the Group 
and which individually or, if of a similar type, in aggregate the Group has 
highlighted as needing to be disclosed by virtue of their size or incidence if 
the financial statements are to give a true and fair view.  Such items are 
non-recurring, as by their nature they do not occur on a frequent basis. 
 
 
Post retirement benefits 
The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  The assets of the 
scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently 
administered fund. The amount charged to the income statement represents the 
contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. 
 
 
Share based payments and employee benefits 
The fair value of awards to employees that take the form of shares or rights to 
shares is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in 
equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period 
during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The 
fair value of the options granted is measured using an option valuation model, 
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were 
granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual 
number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is due only to share 
prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. 
 
 
Short term employee benefits are recognised when an employee has rendered 
service to the Group during an accounting period. The amount recognised is the 
undiscounted amount of short term employee benefits expected to be paid in 
exchange for that service. 
 
 
Foreign currencies 
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange 
ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange 
ruling at the balance sheet date and the gains and losses on translation are 
recognised in the income statement. 
 
Taxation 
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 
Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it 
relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised 
in equity. 
 
 
Current tax is the tax currently payable based on taxable profit for the year, 
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and 
any adjustment to tax payable in previous years. 
 
 
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary 
differences.  Deferred tax is generally provided on the difference between the 
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, 
deferred tax is not provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the 
initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction is a 
business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. 
 
 
Deferred tax on temporary differences associated with shares in subsidiaries is 
not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the 
group and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. 
 In addition, tax losses available to be carried forward as well as other income 
tax credits to the group are assessed for recognition as deferred tax assets. 
 
 
Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, with no discounting.  Deferred 
tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the underlying 
deductible temporary differences will be able to be offset against future 
taxable income.  Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated 
at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of 
realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance 
sheet date. 
 
 
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of 
tax expense in the income statement, except where they relate to items that are 
charged or credited directly to equity in which case the related deferred tax is 
also charged or credited directly to equity. 
 
 
Provisions 
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or 
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of 
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable 
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the group expects 
some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as 
a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The 
expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of 
any expected reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is 
material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, 
where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. 
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of 
time is recognised as a finance cost.
