Unaudited Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 31 March 2005
Chairman's Statement
The Company acquired the entire issued share capital of Frame 1 (2004) Limited
on 16 November 2004 and in the period under review, which is the Company's first
since admission to Aim in February 2005, Group turnover was #1.1 million
producing a loss before taxation of #0.6 million.
A tremendous amount of operational rationalisation has been achieved in this six
month period primarily with the customer base being transformed from low margin,
low visibility and highly working capital intensive 'DIY shed' customers to a
significant higher visibility long term social housing contract which is
supplemented with an ever growing higher margin local trade customer business.
There has also been rationalisation of the cost base, principally manufacturing
headcount reductions with associated redundancy costs. Rationalisation of the
cost base will continue into the second half of the year, with further
reductions in distribution and administration costs expected to deliver
annualised savings of #0.4m at minimal cost. Now that a significant amount of
rationalisation is complete, this has negated the need for a full time Finance
Director and accordingly Stephen Collins will move to a part time position with
immediate effect.
Investment in new machinery is ongoing and the Schirma flow line, for which #0.5
million was raised via a placing in April 2005, is due to be installed before
the end of the summer which should further enhance product quality and
operational efficiency.
With the further recent placing, a growing higher margin customer base and the
benefits of the above changes now starting to come through the Directors look
forward to the remainder of the year with confidence. The Company is expecting
to be generating cash at the operational level before the end of the financial
year in September.
