Pentagon Protection plc
Interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2012
Chairman's statement
Introduction
The six months to 31 March 2012 have been a difficult period for the Group, however I am extremely pleased to report that we continue to grow our customer base across the globe and I will detail some of our exciting contracts wins later in my report. As previously reported, we acquired International Glass Solutions LLC (IGS) in November 2010 to strengthen our US coverage, and have since opened a new office in Amman to create a strong foothold in the MENA region. Hassan Chehaitelli, who is our newly appointed head of operations in the region, has extensive experience in the security industry and we are confident that his appointment will result in significant sales in the near future.
The results for the first six months show pleasing growth in Europe, USA and MENA, however the turbulent market in the UK has resulted in significant contraction in this region. We continue to monitor the performance of each region to establish the best strategic direction for the Group, and to ensure we are focussing our efforts on the most buoyant markets.
Financial Review
As indicated above it has been a difficult trading period and as a result total turnover has decreased by 25% to £923,832. This is due to significant falls in UK and Far East activity but I am pleased with the strong growth shown in Africa, Europe and the US regions. In fact, these regions are showing a 145% increase in sales compared to the same period in 2011, and so we continue to focus our efforts on these productive areas.
Cost of sales decreased at a slightly lower rate of 21%, which means that overall gross profit has decreased for the first six months of the year to 26% (2011: 30%). This is also a decrease on the full year gross profit of 29% for the year ended 30 September 2011. This lower level of margin was fully expected, due to the concentration of lower margin contracts in this period; however we aim to have returned this to our previous high levels when we report for the full year to 30 September 2012.
Total distribution and administration expenses have risen slightly to £558,398 (2011: £547,311) from the same period in 2011. Efficiencies in areas such as legal and professional costs and general office costs have been offset by the cost of our new office in Amman.
Overall there has been a decrease in total assets from £1,329,348 at 30 September 2011 to £997,414 at 31 March 2012. As a result, the Group has net liabilities of £61,274 as at 31 March 2012. In order to support the business through this difficult period, I have pledged, immediately after the issue of this interim financial information, to capitalise more than £100,000 of my shareholder loan, to rectify the balance sheet. The capitalisation will be effected at market price on the date of conversion. In addition, I have agreed to provide the Group with needed liquidity on a temporary basis until such a time as the Group can once more service its own working capital needs. A further announcement will be made shortly.
Also of note, in April 2012, the Company undertook a share capital reorganisation in response to a fall in share price, whereby the ordinary shares had been trading around their nominal value. As such it was deemed prudent by the directors for a share reorganisation to take place whereby each 100 shares were replaced with 1 ordinary share of 1p and 1 deferred share of 9p, allowing continuing investment from the capital markets in the future.
Operational review
Despite the difficult trading period, there have recently been some significant and exciting contract gains, to the value of £535,000 at the time of publishing this report. We are well down the track with negotiations on some other major contracts and I look forward to reporting on these soon; our sales pipeline is currently the largest the Group has ever had, totalling nearly £40 million between the three divisions - £36,633,644 for the SDS Group, which includes a possible large border security contract in the Middle East, £2,737,634 for Window Film and £484,516 for IGS.
Many of the wins in the period have come via the SDS Group, which includes the procurement of X-Ray equipment by an overseas government. In addition, the renewal of a five year contract with the UK government for on-going support and maintenance of X-Ray equipment was also confirmed. The Group's close association with UK police forces also continues, in particular with the supply of search and detection equipment to a number of units.
Our window film division continues to make contract gains, including a recent large contract to complete a number of surveying and film work projects, in partnership with a global market leader in the window film industry, to local government bodies as part of their Climate Change Strategy to reduce their carbon footprint, as well as the supply and installation of both security and energy saving window films.
I am also excited to report that our team in Brussels are currently in talks regarding the second part of our contract with the European Commission.
Conclusion
The first six months of the year have been a challenging period for the Group although I am pleased that we have seen new markets blossom and we will continue to focus the strategic direction of the Group towards the most fruitful markets to ensure its on-going success.
Significant contract wins for the Group are reassurance of our continued commitment to growth and we hope to see an eventual turnaround in our domestic marketplace to consolidate our future success.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the employees of the Group for their continued hard work and dedication.
I look forward to reporting further on our progress when we publish our full year results.
