Interim Report for the six months ended 30 November 2011

 

KEY POINTS

 

·; Turnover £4.1 million (2010 - £3.6 million)

·; Profit before tax £0.35 million (2010 - loss £0.12 million)

·; Earnings per share 0.30p (2010 - loss 0.13p)

 

Executive Chairman's Statement

In a challenging trading environment we have made good progress against our key objectives of returning the Group to growth and profitability.

 

Turnover has increased to £4.1 million, up 13% on the equivalent period last year. Profit before tax of £348,000 includes the release of a legacy stock provision of £402,000, without which the Group's like-for-like operations would have delivered a break-even result. Bank overdrafts were £444,000 (2010: cash and cash equivalents £379,000) which were higher than management's expectations primarily due to the one-off costs associated with restructuring the existing business, start-up expenses for the new Black Box division and the necessary investment in business systems and raw materials needed to manage and meet increased demand.

 

Our order intake and pipeline have benefited from increased sales focus and attention to account management. The improvements in business systems, which have been in process for a number of years, are now fully operational and, along with restructuring the pre-production operations, have allowed us to take better control of throughput resulting in shorter lead times and more accurate production planning.

 

In our Data business we remain pleased with the strength of our relationships with existing partners and are encouraged by our ability to create differentiation and attract new customers with our Nohmad product line. We continue to invest heavily in product development and account management.

 

Our Black Box business commenced operations in June 2011 with a strategy to develop and build data-centric electronics products for our customers' markets. Initial products have now been launched and we look forward to reporting on further progress in the second half of the year.

 

Order intake for the period in our Instruments business is up by over 20% compared with the previous year. However, the slow pace at which some international education projects progress means we continue to suffer the legacy effect of previous years' under-investment in sales activity. In the US, Feedback Inc. has reviewed its sales agents, replaced a number, and strengthened our business in key East and West coast markets.

 

Our UK and International markets remain difficult to predict in both their general economies and our specific areas of activity but we are now better positioned to take advantage of opportunities as and when they arise.

 

The external environment apart, we have made fundamental changes to the way in which the Group operates and our turnaround has started. We recognise the challenges of the markets within which we operate and we continue to explore all opportunities to maximise shareholder value whilst realising our strategic goals.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM REPORT

 

 

1.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union ("IFRS") and expected to be effective at the year end of 31 May 2012. The accounting policies are unchanged from the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2011.

 

The information set out in this interim report for the six months ended 30 November 2011 does not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of The Companies Act 2006. The results for the period ended 31 May 2011 are based on the published accounts for that period on which the auditors gave a report which did not contain statements under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. The accounts for the period ended 31 May 2011 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies.

 

This interim report was approved by the directors on 7 February 2012.

 

 

2.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

 

 

Profit before tax of £348,000 includes the release of a legacy stock provision of £402,000. Management consider the release of the provision appropriate following investment in the Group's stock and production management systems which have improved stock reporting.

 

 

3.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

 

The earnings per share for the six months ended 30 November 2011 is based on the Group profit on ordinary activities after taxation of £347,000 (2010: loss £136,000) attributed to the weighted average of 130,946,746 Ordinary Shares (2010: 109,146,176), being the weighted average number of shares in issue

 

 

4. SHARE ISSUE

 

During the period the Group issued 21,800,000 new ordinary 0.25 pence shares at a subscription price of 1.25 pence per share to certain Directors of the group, Institutional and other investors.

 

Following the issuance of 10,158,755 of the shares to Directors, the Directors have the following shareholdings:

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO FEEDBACK PLC

 

Introduction

We have been engaged by the Company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the six months ended 30 November 2011 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the Notes to the Unaudited Interim Report. We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

 

This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the Company for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the AIM Rules for Companies and for no other purpose. We do not, therefore, in producing this report, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

 

Directors' Responsibilities

The interim financial report, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing and presenting the interim financial report in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies.

 

As disclosed in note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") pronouncements as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") pronouncements, as adopted by the European Union.

 

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the six months ended 30 November 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") pronouncements as adopted by the European Union, and the AIM Rules for Companies.
