Chairman's statement
2013 was a challenging and ultimately disappointing year. A combination of issues has resulted in lower than forecast sales and consequently a lower profit for the year. In addition the Company settled the claim made against it in respect of the lease of a property occupied by a former subsidiary in Newcastle and this caused the Group to make a loss for the year.
Trading results
Revenues from the operating business for the year were disappointing with a reduction from £22.6m in 2012 to £20.0m in 2013. This reduction, together with a reduction in the gross margin percentage, resulted in the gross profit falling from £6.5m in 2012 to £5.5m in 2013. Despite a reduction in administrative expenses the operating profit for the year fell from £0.6m in 2012 to £0.1m in 2013. Together with the exceptional loss incurred as a result of the property in Newcastle the Group has incurred a loss before taxation of £0.5m compared with a profit of £0.5m in 2012.
There were two main areas of the displays business that caused the disappointing 2013 operating result - the UK and Japan.
Firstly, in the UK it was anticipated that the year would deliver an increase in business and at the time of putting the operating forecasts together the management were confident that the numbers could be achieved. However a combination of factors during the year resulted in substantially lower than forecast revenues:
· There were delays in bringing internal developments to market;
· Revenues from internally developed business have taken longer to achieve;
· New projects have taken longer to get to mass production; and
· New markets in which the business has opened offices have taken longer to deliver revenues.
Secondly, during 2013 the Japanese yen has fallen in value against the US$ by approximately 22% which has resulted in a substantial increase in the cost of purchases in our Japanese subsidiary. As the subsidiary sells into the local market in Japanese yen the gross margin on sales has been negatively impacted resulting in a substantial fall in profit for the year.
As a consequence of the disappointing result the Board has reviewed its strategy for the Business and has concluded that it remains sound in the medium to long term. However, in the short term it considers that a review of how the business is structured should be carried out and the cost structure of the business reviewed further.
Land at Blackheath
The Group owns a piece of land at Blackheath, London, retained from the larger sports ground we previously owned, the majority of which was sold to Greenwich Council in 2006. It is designated as Metropolitan Open Land which was the primary reason planning permission was refused when an application was made in 2010. The Council is undertaking a review of its Core Strategy in relation to all open spaces under its designation and as part of this process we are seeking to have the land re-designated to make future development possible. This process has been protracted and it is unlikely that it will be concluded within the next 12 months. The Board also continues to investigate other options to enhance or realise value from the land.
Newcastle property
As has previously been communicated, the Company was issued with a writ in early 2012 by the landlord of a property in Newcastle previously occupied by a former subsidiary of the Company. In my report last year I advised shareholders that the Board considered that the most appropriate way forward was to achieve a negotiated settlement with the Landlord. After lengthy discussions in September 2013 the Company reached a settlement with the Landlord and, while it was agreed that the details of that settlement remained confidential, this agreement has unfortunately resulted in the Group being loss making for the year. The out of court settlement means that the Company is now free to market the property and the Agents that have been appointed are confident that this can be achieved during this year. This will mitigate future costs until the lease expires in 2023.
Shareholders and dividends
Despite the difficulties experienced in 2013 the Directors remain committed to turn the business around and deliver a return to the Company's Shareholders both by increasing shareholder value and paying dividends.
While the Board remains committed to returning profits to shareholders by way of dividends, I do not consider that it is appropriate considering the circumstances to propose a final dividend for the year (2012: 0.1p per share). An interim dividend of 0.1p per share (2012: 0.2p per share) was paid to shareholders and at that point in the year we felt confident that the second half would deliver a substantially higher return than it ultimately achieved. The total dividend payment for the year will, therefore, remain 0.1p per share (2012: 0.3p per share).
Outlook
I believe that the outlook for the business remains positive despite the difficulties the Group has encountered over the past 12 months.
The Board of Directors has identified several areas of the business and its processes that require attention and are in the process of implementing the necessary changes that will enhance the business going forward.
The first quarter of the year has started promisingly with a positive impact from some of the changes that were made during the final quarter of 2013 and the beginning of 2014. This has enabled the business to be operating ahead of its internal forecast and the result achieved in the first quarter in 2013. The pipeline of new business remains fairly strong and we are receiving good orders from our existing and new customers.
Richard Lane, who was appointed as a non-executive director in 2005, retired from the Board in March 2014. I would like to thank Richard for the support he has given to the Company and wish him well in his retirement and continued work as President of Diabetes UK.
I would also like to thank the Directors and staff throughout the Group for their continued hard work and dedication during the year. 2013 was a difficult year for the business but I am confident that it is on the right track and we will see the results of this coming through during 2014.
Finally I would like to thank the Company's Shareholders for their continued support.
