Chairman's statement:
For the first six months of the current year I am pleased to report continued
progress in all aspects of the Group's activities.
There was considerable growth in turnover during the period, which has increased
by 24% to £72.5m (2003: £58.6m) , despite adverse currency movements of £3.2m.
Sales grew in all geographical market areas and in all product lines. The Group
benefited during the period from strong manufacturing growth in our major
markets, especially Japan, Germany and the USA and in our newer markets of
Eastern Europe and Russia. The improvement by product lines was particularly
marked in Digitising (including Dental), Machine Tools and Encoders.
Our worldwide marketing infrastructure continues to be strengthened, with new
offices being established in India and Russia and our staff in Nagoya, Japan are
due to move into larger offices in the next six months.
The Group has maintained its high level of research and development expenditure
on products for the future and a number of new product launches are planned for
this year. Total research and development expenditure, with associated
engineering costs, amounted to £12.3m (2003: £11.0m).
Operating profit for the six months rose to £10.8m compared with £5.6m in the
previous year. Profit before tax was £12.2m (2003: £6.6m) resulting in an
increase of 76% in earnings per share to 13.4p (2003: 7.6p).
As reported at the Annual General Meeting last October, the Company has acquired
for £5m a 100,000 sq feet factory and offices at Stonehouse, 15 miles from our
New Mills site. This facility increases the Group's manufacturing capability and
will accommodate a new anodising plant, the transfer of our manufacturing
equipment from New Mills, the Company's raw material metal stores and the
finishing processes for manufactured components. Substantial investment in
additional manufacturing equipment, including machine tools, has also been made.
Total capital expenditure during this period amounted to £10.4m (2003: £10.1m).
At 31st December 2004 net cash balances were £23.2m (2003: £29.1m).
The Group continues to depend on the introduction of new products and the growth
of the markets in which we operate. At present, markets are buoyant and the
outlook favourable. Although the Group only has short order book visibility, it
has taken steps, including the build up of finished stock levels, to meet the
increasing demand. We remain very confident of the Group's longer term future.
An interim dividend of 6.10p per share (2003: 5.61p per share) will be paid on
11th April 2005 to shareholders on the register on 11th March 2005.
