INTERIM REPORT
Half year ended 30 September 2019
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Despite all the political and economic uncertainties in the UK,
our six month figures to 30th September showed profit before tax
down only a little on the prior period, but ahead of our internal
budget, at GBP363k (2018: GBP402k) on sales of GBP6.920m (2018:
GBP6.722m).
Although the UK market is showing up some classic signs of a
downturn, we received enough orders, particularly for our newer
products, backed up by our export sales, to produce the current
result.
I cannot believe that yet again that I have to bring up Brexit
as the reason for continued uncertainties, which could affect the
next six months quite dramatically. To this must now be added the
Election here in UK, as well as others coming up elsewhere in the
world. It is very difficult to forecast how all these factors will
affect our second half trading.
We are proposing an interim dividend of 5.5p per share (2018:
5.5p), which will be paid on 20 March 2020 to ordinary shareholders
registered at the close of business on 21 February 2020.
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes
of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF INTERIM REPORT
As permitted, IAS34 'Interim Financial Reporting' has not been
applied in this interim report. The information for the period
ended 30 September 2019 is not audited and does not constitute
statutory accounts as defined in section 434 of the Companies Act
2006. The statutory accounts for the year ended 31 March 2019 were
given an unqualified audit report and did not contain statements
under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of
the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The interim accounts for the half year
ended 30 September 2018 were also unaudited.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting
The report has been prepared on a going concern basis in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and
interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee as adopted by the European Union.
The group has not availed itself of early adoption options in
such standards and interpretation. IFRS 16 Leases has been adopted
in the period, the effect at the Half Year is to recognise the
right of use asset of GBP133k and the finance lease liability of
GBP132k.
IFRS 16 brings all operating leases onto the statement of
financial position. The Group has used the modified retrospective
transition approach on adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, where the
initial right of use asset values recognised on property leases of
GBP159k are equal to the present value of the future lease payments
as at the date of transition (1 April 2019).
The net impact on the consolidated income statement is a
decrease in profit before taxation of GBP1k. Finance costs have
increased by GBP2k with the pre-IFRS 16 rental charge of GBP29k
replaced by a depreciation charge GBP28k.
The principal accounting policies adopted are as set out in the
Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2019, except for changes
due to the adoption of IFRS16. The valuation of inventories is
considered to be the main area in terms of significant accounting
estimates and judgements.
The retirement benefit scheme liability recognised in these
interim accounts reflects the estimated change in the deficit at 30
September 2019 from the movements in discount rates and inflation
during the six months.
3. DIVIDENDS
An Interim dividend of 5.5p per share is proposed, payable on 20
March 2020 (paid 22 March 2019: 5.5p).
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated by
dividing the relevant profit after taxation of GBP294,000 (30
September 2018: GBP312,000) by the average number of ordinary
shares in issue during the period being 2,534,322 (2018:
2,534,322). The number of shares used in the calculation is the
same for both basic and diluted earnings.
