Chairman's Statement
Introduction
I am pleased to be able to report to shareholders on a successful year for the business and with confidence for the future. The markets in which the Group operates saw growing confidence which has enabled the business to outperform its internal budgets and consequently deliver, in my view, substantial and sustainable growth.
Densitron Displays
I reported in my statement in the 2009 Annual Report that we were cautiously optimistic about 2010. At the time of writing that statement we had seen an encouraging start to the year with a significant growth in the order book in the first quarter. Much of that growth was due to customers re-stocking so it was difficult to assess how strong the recovery actually was. Reviewing the situation now I am pleased to report that the encouraging start was maintained throughout the year with each month's booked orders being higher than the equivalent month in the previous year.
The fact that we were able to weather the recession and take advantage of the growth opportunities as they presented themselves is testament to the work that has been ongoing over the last four years in restructuring the Group. Having disposed of the loss making divisions of the Group and addressed the debt position, the Group is now focussed on growing the Displays business. A number of areas where there is potential for significant growth have been identified and are being pursued, for example touch screen displays are very much in demand following the huge success for mobile phones.
Evervision Electronics Co. Ltd (Evervision)
Evervision is the Taiwanese display manufacturer in which Densitron owned 24.48% of the share capital until its disposal during the year.
In 2009 I reported that Evervision had carried out a capital reduction resulting in a cash payment to Densitron of £1.2m. In 2010 a further sum of approximately £0.5m was received by way of capital reduction. Following that capital reduction it was apparent that future returns of cash were going to be difficult to achieve and when an opportunity arose to realise the investment as a whole the Board considered that it was in the best interests of the shareholders to sell the Group's investment.
The Group had never been able to exert significant influence over Evervision and Evervision was not core to the Group's business, indeed the investment and supply relationships were managed entirely separately. Although the realisation of the investment will result in a loss on disposal in the year it has enabled the Board to announce that it will use the cash generated to make a return of 5p per share to Shareholders.
Land at Blackheath
The land at Blackheath is a 1.25 acre piece of land that the Group owns in Blackheath, South East London.
During the year we submitted a planning application for development of the land which was turned down by the Local Council. We had anticipated that this would be the outcome since the land is designated as Metropolitan Open Land and we expected that we would need to appeal the decision on the basis that the designation is no longer valid.
We are currently planning the next steps in this process and will advise Shareholders when there is further information. The land has been held on the books at a value of approximately £50,000 and we have previously stated that, in the directors' opinion, the Land could be worth up to £500,000. We engaged a firm of surveyors to carry out a professional valuation at 31 December 2010 and they have confirmed a valuation of £500,000 and we have recognised that uplift in these accounts.
Banking arrangements
The Group has worked very closely with its primary banker, Barclays Bank PLC, over the last few years reducing the level of debt within the Group. Having eliminated all but debt that is supported by trading, the Group is no longer weighed down by disproportionate levels of debt and we will not see financing as a barrier to future growth.
Shareholders
The Group's directors are committed to providing a return to Shareholders whether it is by way of capital growth or distribution.
Capital growth - following the release of the 2009 annual report the Group's Nomad, Westhouse Securities Limited, issued a research note on the Group which was updated following the release of the interim results. To complement the research the executives held meetings with potential investors and the wider investment community to both introduce the Group and detail the Group's future strategy. The raising of the profile of the Group and the improving results has had a major impact on the share price over the year with the price rising from 4.75p per share at 31 December 2009 to 15.25p per share at 31 December 2010.
Dividend - at the interim I was delighted to announce the first dividend payment to Shareholders for a number of years and am further pleased to be able to recommend a final dividend payment of 0.2p per share. Together with the payment of an interim dividend of 0.1p per share this represents a dividend payment based on the trading results for the year of 0.3p per share.
Capital Reduction - following the disposal of the Group's investment in Evervision Electronics Co. Ltd the Board agreed that, in view of the fact this was a capital sum it should be treated as such. A number of options on how best to utilise the funds were considered, but the Board concluded that since the Group's primary strategy of organic growth does not require funding over and above that generated from operations and that the time was not right for strategic investments, a repayment to shareholders was the most appropriate use of the funds. Consequently the directors have recommended a capital reduction of 4p per share and a special dividend of 1p per share which, providing Shareholder and Court approval is received, will be paid in May 2011.
Outlook and strategy
The outlook for the business is encouraging and we have seen a continuation in the growth in the orderbook in the first quarter of 2011. The Group has in place a strategy to deliver substantial growth over the next three years based on an organic growth strategy and the Board has concluded that this is the most appropriate strategy in the short term. While strategic acquisitions have not been ruled out the Board believes that delivering a better return from the existing business is the key to the long term prosperity of the Group.
I would like to thank the directors and staff throughout the Group for their hard work during the year. They have ensured that the Group is well positioned with an excellent range of products and a growing customer base ensuring that the Group is best placed to take the business forward. Finally I would like to thank the Company's shareholders for your continuing support.

On 30 September 2010 the Group disposed of its investment in a Taiwanese manufacturing company, Evervision Electronics Co. Ltd (Evervision). The Group owned 24.48% of the ordinary share capital of Evervision but, in the directors opinion, was not able to exert significant influence and consequently had treated the investment as available-for-sale. During 2009 the Group received approximately £1.2m in respect of a capital reduction by Evervision and in 2010 a further £0.5m was received. The directors believed it was unlikely that further income would be received in the near future so took the opportunity to realize, what they considered to be, a reasonable offer on the investment despite the fact that this has led to a loss in the current year's results. | ||||||||
5. Business and geographical segments | ||||||||
The Chief operating decision maker in the organization is made up of an Executive Committee comprising the Executive Directors and Chairman, they have determined the operating segments detailed within this report and on which the business is managed.

The Group is managed by the geographical location of its subsidiaries: Ø Europe - The European market, being so diverse, is serviced by subsidiaries based in four locations: Ø UK - the UK is responsible for business conducted in the UK, management of the Group's distribution network and sales into other locations where the Group does not have a physical presence. The UK business contributed 26% (2009: 23%) to Group revenues. Ø France - the subsidiary in France is responsible for business conducted in France and with French customers whose manufacturing operations may be located elsewhere in the world. The French business contributed 11% (2009: 14%) to Group revenues. Ø Nordic - Densitron Nordic is the Group's subsidiary located in Finland and servicing business locally along with Sweden and customers located in the Baltic region. The Finnish business contributed 3% (2009: 4%) to Group revenues. Ø Germany - Densitron Deutschland is the Group's subsidiary based in Germany.
