Highlights
• Sales increased on the first half of last year by 2% and 9% at
constant exchange rates.
• Operating profit plus interest but before taxation, goodwill
amortisation and impairment and exceptional items at £1.47m compares with a loss
of £1.89m for the first half of 2003.
• Net cash of £8.24m at the end of the half year compares with £4.75m at
28 June 2003 and £7.65m at 27 December 2003.
• Dividend increased by 75% to 1.75p/share.
The benefits of the major restructuring of the 4imprint Group, carried out last
year, were evident in the results of the first half of the year.
Sales at £43.37m were 2% ahead of last year with a particularly strong
performance by the US Direct Marketing business. At constant exchange rates,
sales would be 9% above last year.
Operating profit before exceptional items, goodwill amortisation and impairment,
at £1.35m compares with a loss of £1.90m for the same period last year, with all
sections of the business contributing to this turnaround.
Net interest income of £0.12m reflected the further increase in net cash to
£8.24m at the period end and better treasury management.
The tax credit of £1.90m arose from the resolution of previous tax issues,
allowing the release of £1.95m of tax provisions, being slightly reduced by a
£0.05m tax charge for the period. Consequently, Group post tax profit was
£2.93m compared with a loss of £1.58m for the same period last year.
Earnings per share were 10.19p compared with a loss per share of 5.51p last
year.
The Group Defined Benefit Pension Fund deficit, net of deferred tax, at the end
of the period was £13.16m and a payment of £0.66m was made to the Fund, in
excess of normal funding, which has been treated as a prepayment in accordance
with SSAP24 and based on the 2001 actuarial valuation. The 2004 triennial
valuation is currently being prepared and will be available for the Annual
Report and Accounts.
In order to provide shareholders with more information and transparency on the
Group's business, the segmental analysis featured later in this interim report
has been further developed. The Group's business consists of four discrete
divisions all managed as separate profit entities.
These four divisions are as follows: -
(a) European Premium Promotions
This division comprises the Product Plus International company (PPI) based in
London, which specialises in the supply of promotional products and services, to
a range of blue chip clients. The products and services provided are large
volume, 'one-off' and tailored to specific consumer products' advertising
objectives. The majority of products supplied are sourced from China and the
Far East, where PPI has a well established purchasing and inspection base.
(b) European Direct Marketing and Corporate Programmes
This division comprises the 4imprint business based in Manchester, together with
its sister company, Kreyer in Germany.
Unlike the Premium Promotions business, this division focuses on the regular
supply of products for company promotions and advertising. These are supplied to
a wide range of clients, which comprise end users and intermediate suppliers to
end users. The division uses catalogue and internet selling techniques and
provides bespoke printing and 'badging' services though its laser printing
facilities. Its Corporate Programmes sector builds on its product base by
providing sophisticated design and artwork and additional support functions,
including warehousing, distribution and product range consultancy, for specific
corporate promotional programmes for major clients.
(c) US Direct Marketing
This division based in Wisconsin USA provides products for company promotions to
a wide range of end users in the USA and Canada using highly developed catalogue
and internet mechanisms. The division has well established design resources
supporting its products and a very competitive supply base. The division also
has a small Corporate Programmes business which has recently been downsized and
refocused.
(d) US Franchising
This division comprises the AIA promotional products franchising business. This
division provides promotional products through a different approach to market
than the Direct Marketing business. It uses a system of Franchisees,
established throughout the USA, to sell promotional products. The business
provides a range of support services to Franchisees in return for a service fee.
Group overhead costs and other minor income/costs, which cannot accurately be
allocated to the Divisions, are reported separately.
The operations review accompanying this statement provides fuller details of the
trading performance of each division.
Board
Mr. Craig Slater, who was Chief Operating Officer and Group Finance Director,
resigned from the Group in July to pursue other interests. We thank him for his
contribution to 4imprint over the 3 years he was with the Group.
The recruitment of a new Group Finance Director is in its final stages and an
announcement will be made shortly.
Dividend
In the light of the great improvements achieved in the Group's performance, the
Board has declared a dividend of 1.75p/share an increase of 75% on last year's
interim dividend. The interim dividend will be paid on 8th November 2004 to
ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of business on 15th October
2004.
Outlook
In the USA, the markets we serve continue to be more buoyant than the previous
year, whereas in the UK and Europe the positions remain stable. With this
background, and with the benefit of further cost reductions currently being
secured, the Board believes that the second half should show good progress over
the first.
Operations Review
The trading performance of the four divisions, which comprise the 4imprint
Group, during the first half of 2004 has been as follows: -
(a) European Premium Promotions
Half Year Half Year Full Year
2004 2003 2003
£'000 £'000 £'000
Sales 6,528 6,544 15,854
Operating Profit 459 412 1,663
(pre goodwill amortisation and
operating exceptional)
Trading conditions during the first half were difficult, with corporate spending
subdued in the UK, and competition strong. These conditions have continued into
the second half and are not expected to change in the short term. Sales in the
first half were at the same level as last year and operating profit before
exceptional expenses and goodwill amortisation was 11% ahead of last year helped
by very tight control of costs.
The division has undertaken a review of its supply chain management to secure
further improvements to its competitive strengths. It is also focusing on
extending its range of blue chip clients where the quality of its service has
ensured sustained support.
(b) European Direct Marketing and Corporate Programmes
Half Year Half Year Full Year
2004 2003 2003
£'000 £'000 £'000
Sales 16,487 15,357 34,844
Operating Profit/(loss) 375 (135) 1,088
(pre goodwill amortisation)
The division had a good first half with sales 7% ahead of last year despite only
marginal improvements in the general market conditions. Operating profits were
significantly ahead of last year, due largely to operational improvements and
cost reductions, coupled with a strong performance from the product sourcing
business. Further optimisation is underway, including cost reductions,
restructuring and elimination of some unprofitable business streams.
Kreyer increased its turnover by 13%, despite poor trading conditions in
Germany. This was achieved through reinforced sales efforts which secured
several new customers.
(c) US Direct Marketing
Half Year Half Year Full Year
2004 2003 2003
US $'000 £'000 US $'000 £'000 US $'000 £'000
Turnover 33,003 18,132 28,755 17,872 64,181 39,075
Operating Profit 1,381 759 13 8 1,404 854
Following a strategic review in late 2003, the Oshkosh, Wisconsin site was
restructured and renewed focus was placed on the core Direct Marketing business.
Sales of $33m were 15% ahead of last year and operating profit of $1.38m
compares with a breakeven position last year.
Orders from new customers were 13% ahead of prior year on a catalogue
circulation increase of only 8%. Orders from existing customers were up 10% over
prior year on a slightly reduced marketing spend. Several new marketing
initiatives along with enhancements to our 4imprint.com website have delivered
encouraging results. The positive trend accelerated into the third quarter of
2004 and consequently the prospects for the second half results are good.
Considerable progress has been made in the rationalisation of US Corporate
Programmes, which accounts for a significant proportion of the segment's working
capital. A combination of the termination of underperforming programmes, some
associated downsizing and strong management control have produced a breakeven
position in the first half, compared to a sizeable loss for the same period in
the prior year. In addition, close to $1m of working capital has been released.
Sales, marketing and technology resource has been re-directed towards leveraging
our proven Direct Marketing core competencies to serve better our larger
corporate and partnership relationships.
Overall, this division has strong prospects, and significant future growth is
achievable.
(d) US Franchising
Half Year Half Year Full Year
2004 2003 2003
US $'000 £'000 US $'000 £'000 US $'000 £'000
Gross Franchise Sales 55,956 30,742 55,410 34,439 113,069 68,840
Turnover (Fee Income) 4,039 2,219 4,377 2,720 8,377 5,100
Operating Profit (Loss) 783 430 (2,421) (1,504) (8,080) (4,678)
(pre goodwill amortisation
and impairment)
During the first half of this year the benefit of the massive restructuring
undertaken, to bring this former loss making business into profit, was more
evident. The division is now strongly managed and tight financial controls have
been introduced and sustained. Bad debt problems, which were evident in the
past, have been substantially reduced and the division is now on a stable
footing.
US Franchising achieved good sales and operating profit in the first half. The
Company has now successfully consolidated all its operations in Oshkosh. The
Management Team has come together well and is operating efficiently. Expense
control has been tight.
(e) Central Costs
With four well managed, self contained and profitable divisions, the Central
costs are being refocused to provide only the necessary resources to cover key
control activities and corporate development. The total costs of the centre,
going forward, are therefore being substantially reduced compared with recent
years.

The US Franchising review and restructuring costs of £1,300,000 in the 2003
interim results have been reclassified as non-exceptional costs in line with the
treatment adopted for the 2003 full year results. This reclassification
increased the prior half year operating loss before exceptional items, goodwill
amortisation and impairment from £597,000 to £1,897,000.
The prior half year results have also been restated upon adoption of application
note G of FRS 5 'Reporting the Substance of Transactions' relating to the
restatement of certain sales from a gross to a net basis. Turnover for the 2004
half year decreased by £898,000 (2003 half year : £723,000, 2003 full year :
£2,315,000) as a result of the adoption. There was no effect on operating
profit.

£43,513,000) before the reclassification of own shares from fixed asset
investments to other reserves following the adoption of UITF Abstract 38 '
Accounting for ESOP Trusts'. The effect of this reclassification was to reduce
the 2003 half year and full year profit and loss reserves by £9,000 and £7,000
respectively.

1 Basis of preparation
This interim report for the half year ended 26 June 2004 has not been audited
and does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of s240 of the
Companies Act 1985. The financial information has been prepared on the basis of
the accounting policies set out in the Group's annual report and accounts for
the year ended 27 December 2003 except for the accounting policy change arising
on the adoption of UITF Abstract 38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts'. Those accounts
carry an unqualified auditors' report and have been delivered to the Registrar
of Companies. The comparative results for the year ended 27 December 2003 are
abridged, and as such do not represent statutory accounts.

A detailed review of the segments including the choice of segments, reasons for
change from prior year, business descriptions and performance analyses are
contained within the Chairman's statement.
US Direct Marketing includes the US Corporate Programmes business, previously
contained within the Marketing Support Services segment, as these businesses are
under common control of local management.
Costs have been allocated in terms of resources required and do contain some
indirect costs which are not dependent on the level of business conducted.
Unallocated costs relate to the Head Office.
Unallocated assets/(liabilities) relate to taxation, Head Office working capital
and dividends, which were not allocated to the segments, as this would be
misleading.
3 Exceptional operating expenses
The operating exceptional expense in 2004 relates to the cost of a product
recall issue in the European Premium Promotions segment, which has been treated
as exceptional due to its rare occurrence and size.

The taxation charge for the six months to 26 June 2004 has been calculated by
applying the best estimate of the Group's annual tax rate to the profit on
ordinary activities before taxation for the period and in addition contains a
£1.95 million credit as a result of previous years tax issues being resolved.
5 Dividend
The interim dividend for 2004 of 1.75p per ordinary share (2003: 1.00p) will be
paid on 8 November 2004 to ordinary shareholders on the register at the close of
business on 15 October 2004.
6 Earnings/(loss) per share
The earnings/(loss) per share for the half year is based on the profit on
ordinary activities after taxation of £2,929,000 (2003: £1,581,000 loss) and
weighted average shares in issue (excluding those held in 4imprint Qualifying
Employee Share Trust Limited) of 28,729,765 (2003: 28,709,185).
The diluted earnings per share for the half year is based on the same profit and
