Business overview
The Group achieved revenues of £2.897m in the first half,
compared to £3.720m last year. The decrease in revenues
relates mainly to a reduction in revenues from the Group’s security
division, as detailed below, and no revenues being generated during
the period from ALS, the Group’s asbestos management business which
ceased in March 2018 and which had
revenues of £0.382m last year.
Having ceased its asbestos management activities, the Group
disposed of its associated property in Essex for £305,000, as
announced on 28 September 2018.
The book value at that date was approximately £133,000
representing a gain of approximately £166,000 after sale fees and
legal costs. Charges have been incurred for ending services and
leasing equipment agreements associated with the property, and
disposal of contents, resulting in an overall positive contribution
of approximately £150,000.
EBITDA, without the benefit of this gain, would have been
£119,000 over the period, a reduction of £78,000 on last
year. The main variance relates to reduced revenues and
profits at our security division, which has been impacted by
reduced orders from its largest client whilst that client
re-evaluates its own strategy. A breakdown of revenues and
EBITDA by subsidiary is given below.
At the start of the current financial year, we merged the
Group’s security businesses, B to B Links Limited (B to B) and SG
Systems (UK) Limited (SG), into a single corporate entity, B2BSG
Systems Limited. As the year has progressed, we have been
taking steps to fully integrate both parts of the business.
This involves streamlining the office and accounting
functions, creating a single sales team and having a combined
engineering department responsible for installations and servicing.
These operations will be managed from the Finchampstead,
Berkshire premises, and we have
given notice to terminate our lease at the Amesbury, Wiltshire office and warehouse formerly used
by SG. In the short term, this amalgamation and streamlining
process will involve some costs but longer term will give the
business a lower overhead.
The lease on the office used by Quality Leisure Management
Limited (QLM) in Northleach expires on 31
December 2018. QLM will relocate to Raunds,
Northamptonshire, where it will
share Group-owned premises currently occupied by another
subsidiary, RSA Environmental Health Limited (RSA). This will
lead to lower fixed costs going forward though there will be
certain relocation and redundancy expenses borne in Q3.
Our Scottish subsidiary, QCS, has taken on additional premises
adjacent to its existing unit, which has also had its lease
renewed. We have invested approximately £50,000 in
refurnishing and modernising both units to improve and expand the
training facility, so that larger numbers of delegates can attend
courses where appropriate. A secondary training area has also
been created, providing the ability to run more than one course at
the same time.
The Group continues to suffer from a general inertia and level
of uncertainty in its client base ahead of clarification on the
implications and impacts of Brexit. As we have repeatedly
reported, the weakness of Sterling impacts particularly on our
security business, which relies upon imported equipment purchased
in US Dollars and Euros.
Outlook
The majority of the Group’s revenues arise from its security
division and this is heavily weighted towards the retail sector.
Our security business is highly regarded within the retail
sector and recently won the Highly Commended Award in the “Vendor
of the Year” category at the Retail Risk Fraud Awards. We are
well-placed to deliver security solutions to the sector and have a
number of key partnerships with national accounts.
Trials and tribulations on the high street are well publicised
and we are not insulated from this. Until retailers have
emerged from the Christmas period they are unlikely to consider
meaningful investment in their stores, partly because of financial
uncertainties but also because they do not want work going on in
store during the peak period. This means we always see a
tail-off in activity as we approach the festive period and as a
result of the general weakness in the sector, we have reduced
visibility for the start of calendar year 2019.
Our health and safety businesses are all trading profitably and
we expect this to continue for the second half of the financial
year. Levels of contract renewal at QLM, Inspection Services
(UK) Limited and Personnel Health and Safety Consultants Limited
remain high. The main activity of RSA continues to be the
delivery of safety-rated training and advice to the education
sector and the subsidiary intends to refresh its offering over the
coming months.
With the new investment in QCS’s premises and management’s steps
to improve and expand the range of courses that they offer, we are
confident of seeing improved results going forward. QCS,
which delivers training and consultancy in management and quality
systems, is recognised as a leader in its field.
Dividend
In view of the gain arising from the sale of the property
relating to the discounted asbestos operations and the resulting
strengthening of our balance sheet, the board has decided to
declare an interim dividend of 0.5p per ordinary share, to be paid
on 28 February 2019 to those on the
register of members on 4 January
2019.
The recommendation by the board of any final dividend for the
current financial year will be subject to the Group’s full year
performance.
Cash Flow
Cash at bank on 30 September 2018
stood at £583k compared with £129k at the same time last year.
Given our improved cash position, we have reduced our (currently
unused) banking facility from £300,000 to £150,000, as we see this
as being adequate for our foreseeable needs and results in a lower
facilitation fee.
Other than in the normal course of business, the board does not
currently anticipate there being any additional calls on the
Company’s cash.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Basis of
preparation
These condensed consolidated financial statements are presented
on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
as adopted by the European Union and interpretations issued by the
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
and have been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for
Companies and the Companies Act 2006, as applicable to companies
reporting under IFRS.
The financial information contained in this report, which has
not been audited, does not constitute statutory accounts as defined
by Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Group’s
statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, prepared under IFRS have been
filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditors’ report
for the 2017 financial statements was unqualified and did not
contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies
Act 2006.
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are
followed within these interim financial statements as adopted in
the most recent annual financial statements.
New IFRS standards and interpretations
not adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and
interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective and in
some cases have not been adopted by the European Union. IFRS 16 may
have an impact on the measurement and treatment of operating leases
and the related disclosures. As at 31
March 2018 the estimated impact of the transition to IFRS 16
would be to increase tangible fixed assets and liabilities by
approximately £52,000. The impact on the statement of
comprehensive income is not expected to be material to the
financial statements. IFRS 9 is not expected to have a material
impact on the financial statements of the group entities.
The information presented within these interim financial
statements is in compliance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial
Reporting”. This requires the use of certain accounting
estimates and requires that management exercise judgement in the
process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The
areas involving a high degree of judgement or complexity, or areas
where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the interim
financial statements are disclosed below:
Impairment of goodwill
The Board has considered the carrying value of goodwill and
although there have been losses in certain subsidiaries in the
interim period the longer term outlook remains stable and an
impairment charge in these interim accounts is not therefore
considered necessary and will be reassessed at the year end.
