Interim Results
Alumasc Group PLC
09 February 2006
THE ALUMASC GROUP PLC - INTERIM ANNOUNCEMENT
Alumasc, the premium building and engineering products group, recently
reclassified by FTSE under Construction & Materials, announces its results for
the half year ended 31 December 2005.
• As previously indicated, pre-tax profit reduced - to £2.9m from £3.7m on
continuing activities - due to the reduced Engineering profit.
• Earnings per share on continuing activities reduced to 5.9p from 7.1p.
• The interim dividend per share is maintained at 3.0p, reflecting the
Board's confidence in the prospects for the second half-year.
• Trading losses and redundancy costs at the discontinued activity, Copal
Casting, cost £1.4m (before tax), as forecast in November.
• Building Products moved strongly ahead, growing turnover by £4.0m
(18.5%) to £25.9m and increasing profits by 5% to £2.5m.
• Precision Engineering made considerable progress in securing new work to
replace the business which ceased on the demise of Rover in April 2005, but
contributed to the reduced Engineering profit.
John McCall, Chairman, stated "In recent years, the group's second half has
consistently outperformed the first half for reasons principally associated with
seasonal factors, including the incidence of holidays in our markets. The Board
has stated that it expects this bias in favour of the second half to continue,
indeed to increase in the current year. Progress with new projects and the level
of order books in those businesses where we enjoy the benefit of forward vision
lead the Board to expect an improving performance in each of our business areas
in the second half-year."
Presentation:
Today, from 09:30am to 10:30am, a presentation to broker's analysts and private
client investment advisers will be held at the offices of Bankside Consultants,
1 Frederick's Place, London EC2R 8AE.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Summary
Alumasc's profits before tax from continuing operations were £2.9 million in the
6 months to 31 December 2005. As the Board anticipated in its statements of
November and December 2005, these profits fell short of the £3.7 million earned
in the same period of the prior year, due to lower profits from the group's
Engineering activities. Profits from the group's Building Products activities,
which contributed two-thirds to the previous year's total, were slightly ahead
of the previous year.
The closure of Copal Casting, following extensive but unsuccessful efforts to
find a buyer, commenced on 18 November 2005 and is now virtually complete. This
has been a costly exercise but is consistent with the Board's strategy to focus
the group on its core premium building and engineering activities, where
know-how and service are recognised and valued by the market. The published
profit before tax of £2.9 million in the period excludes trading losses and
redundancy costs at Copal, which totalled £1.4 million, as forecast in November.
Earnings per share from continuing activities reduced from 7.1p to 5.9p.The
Board has declared an unchanged interim dividend of 3.0p per share, reflecting
its confidence in the prospects for the second half-year .
In January 2006, Alumasc was reclassified by FTSE from "Engineering and
Machinery" to "Construction and Materials", reflecting the growth achieved by
our Building Products activities in recent years.
Operations
Our Building Products activities moved strongly ahead in the six months, growing
turnover by £4.0 million (18.5%) to £25.9 million. Margins were somewhat lower
in the period due to project start-up costs and further investment in sales and
marketing, in contrast to some corresponding benefits in the prior year.
However, it is encouraging to see growth against the background of the UK
construction market, which declined in 2005 after 11 years of unbroken
expansion. Profits increased by 5% to £2.5 million.
The group's continuing Precision Engineering activities made considerable
progress in securing new work to replace the business which ceased on the demise
of Rover in April 2005. There was, in addition, a high level of new work
replacing old with existing customers. These factors in combination resulted in
turnover of £12.8 million, 8% below the previous year, together with higher
costs associated with the introduction of so many new products. Energy costs
were £0.2 million higher in the period. Profits of £0.6 million in the period
were £0.7 million lower as a result.
Our Industrial Products activities earned profits of £0.1 million (2004:£0.7
million). Rising metal prices boosted turnover at Brock Metals, disguising weak
demand from UK customers, while low demand from UK brewers similarly affected
Alumasc Dispense. Both Brock and Alumasc Dispense have new projects in hand and
have taken actions to improve performance in the second half.
In December 2005, the group achieved a rolling key objective of no days being
lost during the month through injury to employees. I believe this reflects the
emphasis placed on best practice towards health and safety throughout the group.
Financial
The group's net borrowings rose from £3.3 million at 30 June 2005 to £4.8
million at 31 December 2005 (2004: £3.4 million), in line with our normal
working capital cycle.
The property previously occupied by GE Bissell & Co Ltd, whose business was sold
in January 2005, was disposed of in December 2005 for £0.8 million, resulting in
a gain of £0.2 million.
International Financial Reporting Standards have been used for the first time in
preparing the December 2005 statements and prior year figures have been restated
on a similar basis. The principal change follows the inclusion of our defined
benefit pension schemes deficit as a long-term liability of the group, with a
corresponding reduction in Capital and Reserves. Details of the impact of all
IFRS adjustments on the prior year are set out in Note 9 to the Accounts.
Prospects
In recent years, the group's second half has consistently outperformed the first
half for reasons principally associated with seasonal factors, including the
incidence of holidays in our markets. The Board has stated that it expects this
bias in favour of the second half to continue, indeed to increase in the current
year. Progress with new projects and the level of order books in those
businesses where we enjoy the benefit of forward vision lead the Board to expect
an improving performance in each of our business areas in the second half-year.

Notes on the Unaudited Accounts
for the half year to 31 December 2005
1. Basis of preparation
The interim report for the six months ended 31 December 2005 has been prepared
under the Group's anticipated International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") accounting policies for the year ending 30 June 2006. It includes
comparative figures for the financial year ended 30 June 2005 which are not the
company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts, which were
prepared under UK GAAP, have been reported on by the company's auditors and
delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was
unqualified and did not contain statements under section 237(2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 1985.
Comparative figures for the year ended 30 June 2005 have been extracted from a
restatement of the financial information taken from the company's statutory
accounts for that financial year, on which the auditors have issued to the
company a special purpose report.
The Group has adopted all existing relevant IFRS with the exception of IAS 34,
Interim Financial Reporting, which is not mandatory for UK groups. As permitted
by IFRS 1 (first time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards),
the provisions of IAS 32 and IAS 39 have not been applied to the comparative
periods and are applied from 1 July 2005. Whilst the Group expects to use
consistent accounting policies for the preparation of the results for the year
ending 30 June 2006, there is the possibility that accounting policies may have
to be updated in order to reflect new standards and interpretations available at
that time.
Copies of the reconciliation statements and of the Group's IFRS accounting
policies, along with further information on the transition to IFRS, are
available on the website, www.alumasc.co.uk. This information can also be
obtained by writing to the Company Secretary. To assist shareholders in
understanding the impact of IFRS, note 9 provides a summary overview of the
adjustments from the previously published UK GAAP statements at 30 June 2005.
The disclosures of continuing operations and discontinued operations for
comparative periods have been restated in these interim financial statements to
reflect all operations treated as discontinued at 31 December 2005.
The interim financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2005 are
not statutory accounts; they have been neither audited nor reviewed by the
Group's auditors.

5. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the period
attributable to ordinary equity shareholders of the parent by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable
to ordinary equity shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the year, after allowing for the exercise of
outstanding share options.
The following sets out the income and share data used in the basic and diluted
earnings per share calculations:

9. Restatement of financial statements at 30 June 2005
