Chairman's Statement

Nikki Beckett Chairman

Overview

I am pleased to report that whilst the economic and market conditions remained challenging throughout the first half of the financial year, (which is also the seasonally weaker of the two halves' trading), the Group has managed to increase both revenue and profitability.

Financial summary

Group revenue increased by 10.4% in the first half from £30.17m to £33.31m and, in constant currency terms, was ahead of the corresponding period last year by 0.4%. Revenues increased in Australia, the UK and Canada but declined in Ireland as the Irish economy contracted further.

Group operating profit improved substantially, up 48.7% from £0.52m to £0.78m, whilst pre-tax profit increased significantly by 177.7% from £0.20m to £0.56m, primarily driven by a strong performance in Australia. Pre-tax profit was up by 59.9% on a constant currency basis.

Group borrowings reduced to £8.55m from £9.47m at the same period last year. Whilst borrowings were up on the year-end position of £7.14m, as the business built stocks for the seasonally stronger second half, net gearing remains relatively low at 18.5%. The Group continues to have significant headroom within its banking facilities, given the relatively low capital expenditure requirements in what is already a very well invested business.

Half-year dividend

The Board is pleased to declare an increase of 15.4% in half-year dividend from 2.60p to 3.00p per share, payable on 9 December 2010 to all shareholders on the register as at 26 November 2010, with the ex-dividend date being 24 November 2010.

Operational review

United Kingdom

Whilst the UK has technically come out of recession, the continuing economic uncertainty, faltering housing market and planned public sector spending cutbacks have all had a detrimental effect on consumer confidence and their discretionary spending on deferrable 'big ticket' items, including carpet.

Overall, UK revenues increased by 1.6% from £11.10m to £11.27m when compared to the corresponding period last year. Carpet sales were down in the period under review by 1.6% and, whilst the inter-Group use of yarn from our spinning mill was lower, external yarn sales outside the Group almost doubled.

Operating profit was affected by both the reduced volumes of carpets sold and rapidly increasing raw material prices, which the company was unable to pass on to customers during the first half. Consequently, a small operating loss was incurred in the period reported on of £0.24m, compared to an operating profit of £0.15m in the prior half-year. After interest charges, this resulted in a pre-tax loss of £0.28m, compared to a pre-tax profit of £0.12m last half-year.

In June 2010, Victoria Carpets' contract with Independent Inspections Limited to supply carpet to the insurance replacement market went live and got off to a pleasing start. Business is developing well in this new channel to market for the Group and it is hoped that this will become an important part of the UK's business offering going forward. The company also plans to enter into the supply of synthetic pile carpets during the third quarter of this financial year, introducing a new generation of EASICARE™

carpets made in Polypropylene fibre to the residential carpet market. This major initiative should expand the company's product offer into a wider market channel and enable it to capture market share in an area not previously exploited.

Subsequent to the half-year end, it is encouraging to report that early in the third quarter, the company managed to pass on the significant increases that have been seen in wool prices to its customers. This should, along with other measures and initiatives, help in improving the margins of the business and in restoring profitability in the second half of the financial year.

Ireland

The state of the Irish economy and their banking crisis has been well reported. Irish revenues in the first half fell by 25.9% from €1.89m to €1.40m and an operating loss of €0.29m was recorded, compared to an operating loss of €0.32m in the corresponding period last year.

During the first half, further restructuring of the business in Ireland has taken place with a reduction in headcount and the company's telesales function being pulled back into the Group's UK facilities. This brought about a reduction in the losses incurred in H1, but further significant sales declines caused by the state of the economy meant that the losses have continued. It is planned to further reduce the cost base in Ireland by bringing the warehousing of product back into the Group's UK facilities and servicing the market from here.

The team in Ireland are working extremely hard in unprecedented market conditions to maximise sales opportunities and investment in new products is still continuing.

Chairman's Statement

Australia

Although economic uncertainty and relatively soft market conditions prevailed throughout the first half, our operations and the Australian economy in general have recovered very well from the significant downturn experienced in the previous year.

Consumer caution and intense price competition continue to be the predominant characteristics of both the Australian and New Zealand markets and, whilst our sales growth in local currency terms has been fairly modest, our margin and profit performance have improved significantly over the corresponding period last year. Much of the margin improvement is attributable to better capacity utilisation of our two woollen spinning mills and the impact of the strong Australian Dollar on raw material costs.

Revenue was up 2.2% from A\$34.66m to A\$35.42m, operating profit increased significantly by 53.5% from A\$1.85m to A\$2.84m and profit before tax was up by 76.3% from A\$1.48m to A\$2.61m.

Cash generation remains strong and borrowings were further reduced during the period.

The Australian market is still below the levels experienced prior to the economic downturn but it has proved to be more robust than most. Residential sales are improving but still not buoyant and there remains a significant difference between the local State economies. After a relatively quiet first half-year, the commercial contract market is now improving as many of the projects that had been deferred are now under way again. Our entry into this market segment with new tufted broadloom products and the launch of a range of carpet tiles has been well received and the timing coincides with increased activity in this market segment.

The New Zealand market, in which we have experienced strong growth, has not been as resilient as Australia and both the residential and commercial contract markets remain flat.

Despite difficult trading conditions, we have continued to improve residential market share and have achieved further significant sales growth over the prior year.

The strengthening value of the Australian Dollar has had a range of impacts on the local operation as well as on the Group's overall result. Operationally, it assists in dampening the effects of imported raw material cost increases, although as a local manufacturer, it impacts our competitiveness against imports and diminishes the value of our sales growth in New Zealand. From a Group point of view, profit translation is enhanced.

Canada

Whilst the Canadian market remains subdued, revenues in the Group's Canadian associate company were up by 3.9% from C\$3.73m to C\$3.88m in the first half. Operating profit was C\$0.12m, compared to an operating loss of C\$0.11m in the prior year.

The Canadian team have worked hard in difficult market conditions and there are now some signs that the contract residential market might be starting to improve in Vancouver.

Outlook

The overall outlook for the Group is satisfactory, with the growth in Australia helping offset some of the softer market conditions that remain in other geographies.

Trading in the UK remains uncertain given the planned cutbacks in UK Government spending and the increase in VAT announced for January 2011. However, strong new range introductions, particularly in the synthetic carpet area, coupled with further progress expected in the insurance replacement market, should help to mitigate any further market weakness in what is the generally more buoyant second half. Raw material cost increases have now been passed on and this should help in restoring margin.

Recent trading in Ireland seems to have found a new level, although it may yet be too early to say whether this is the bottom of the cycle. The Group's Irish businesses have undergone significant restructuring since the start of the recession and, whilst the loss has been reduced by measures already taken, they have still not restored the businesses to profitability. With the measures now in place and hopefully some stability in the market, albeit at significantly lower levels than ever seen in the past, we are targeting an improved position by the end of this financial year.

In Australia, the immediate short term outlook remains one of cautious optimism and there are sufficient positives in the business, with new product releases and a somewhat tentative improvement in the Australian carpet market, for the Board to anticipate further modest growth in this region.

In summary, whilst we remain cautious about the outlook for consumer spending, the Group is well positioned to exploit some of the new initiatives that it is developing in the floorcovering market and we remain confident of achieving the expectations set for this financial year.

1 General information

These condensed consolidated financial statements for the 26 weeks ended 2 October 2010 have not been audited or reviewed by the Auditors. They were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 November 2010.

The information for the 52 weeks ended 3 April 2010 does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The Auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified.

2 Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 3 April 2010, which were prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union.

The accounting policies and basis of consolidation of these condensed financial statements are consistent with those applied and set out on pages 45 to 52 of the Group's audited financial statements for the 52 weeks ended 3 April 2010, except for the following accounting standards and interpretations which are effective for the Group from 4 April 2010:

IFRS 3 (revised) Business Combinations continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, but with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with some contingent payments subsequently remeasured at fair value through profit or loss; goodwill and non-controlling interests may be calculated on a gross or net basis; and all transaction costs, which under previous practice were treated as part of the cost of a business combination, are to be expensed.

IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests where there is no change in control to be recorded in equity. Such transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses.

IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation clarifies which currency exposures qualify for hedge accounting; which entity within a Group can hold the hedging instrument; and how to determine the amounts to be reclassified from equity to profit or loss for both the hedging instrument and the hedged item when an investment in a foreign operation is disposed of.

IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners clarifies how an entity should measure distributions of assets, other than cash, when it pays dividends to its owners.

None of these revised and amended standards and interpretations are expected to have a material impact on the Group's net cash flows, financial position, total comprehensive income or earnings per share.

Having reviewed the Group's projections, and taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance, the Directors believe they have reasonable grounds for stating that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The Directors are of the view that the Group is well placed to manage its business risks despite the current challenging economic and market conditions. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements of the Group.

3 Segmental information

For management purposes, the Group is organised into four operating divisions according to the geographical areas where they are managed. These divisions form the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information, plus the Canadian associate. The three segments are UK, Ireland and Australia, to which is added the Canadian associate.

Geographical segment information for revenue, operating profit and a reconciliation to entity net profit is presented below.

Corporation tax for the half year is charged at 36.0% (2009: 36.0%), representing the best estimate of the weighted average annual corporation tax rate expected for the full financial year. The high effective tax rate is primarily due to the relatively low tax rate in Ireland at 12.5%, and due to Ireland reporting a loss in the period the deferred tax credit is only available at 12.5%.
