Financial Dynamics
Chairman's statement
This year has seen a number of significant achievements and positive changes for
Stanelco. In particular, we have begun the commercialisation of more of the IP
from the Aquasol portfolio with a credible partner; Stanelco's direct sales of
product from the Biotec joint venture (JV) have increased materially in the
second half of the year (albeit from a small base); and our RF subsidiary is
building a sizeable enquiry book compared with its previous performance in 2006.
Management changes at the beginning of the year, and the appointment of Paul
Mines as CEO, are having a positive effect.
Results
In line with the Board's expectations, we made a trading loss before exceptional
items for the year ended 31 December 2007 of £3.1 million (2006: loss £6.6
million). The loss before taxation was £5.0 million (2006: loss £15.3 million)
resulting in a loss per share of 0.169 pence (2006: loss 1.213 pence). Turnover
of £8.1 million (2006: £6.7 million) was lower than our expectations,
principally due to reduced volume take-off at Biotec in the second half of the
year by its principal customer SPhere SA (SPhere). The Board do not recommend
the payment of a dividend.
Our cash position at year end was £8.1 million, significantly ahead of the
Board's expectations, due to a disciplined and careful approach being taken on
expenditure by our financial management.
With our substantial cash resources enabling us to look at sensible investment
opportunities and improving sales showing the benefits of good management, we
remain confident that the resources are in place to improve our business
performance over time. When we achieve profitability we should have substantial
protection from taxation due to the ability to offset prior years' losses.
Strategy
Since our interim statement, the Board has planned the future strategic path for
the business. Stanelco has been reorganised and focused into two distinct
areas; BioPlastics and Radio Frequency Applications (RF).
Our BioPlastics division encompasses all our activities in bio-based plastics.
We have grouped together in this division Aquasol, the Biotec JV and our
business based on growing sales of bioplastics, either based on Biotec's IP or
on IP offering similar advantages in the marketplace. We regard this as our core
business going forward and are looking for new opportunities to increase its
critical mass quickly.
The investment we are making in pilot facilities and additional technical/
science skills in the UK is underway and we look forward to the extra impetus
and capability that this will bring to the development and commercialisation of
bioplastics.
Biotec is our JV with SPhere. It has valuable know-how and IP in the bioplastics
arena and has volume capacity substantially above its current output. Biotec has
had a mixed performance this year, due principally to Novamont S.p.A ('Novamont
'), an Italian based competitor, making claims that a patent infringement exists
with both Biotec and SPhere. This dispute is being defended vigorously following
advice from our legal advisors. Inevitably, this has caused SPhere to reduce the
volume purchased from Biotec somewhat. We believe that the Biotec business is a
valuable asset and is important to our future strategy and we will do all we can
to further its growth within Stanelco.
RF was the traditional base of the group and has been re-invigorated to seek and
service business opportunities in its loyal market; this change in approach is
capturing new business, encouraging existing customers to increase volumes and
re-activating former customers.
With improving performance now apparent from Stanelco, my task, and that of the
Board, is to secure the confidence of our shareholders and to pursue a strategy
that delivers sustainable and profitable growth into the future.
Board and employees
We are now a small board of directors devoted to achieving success for our
shareholders. The quality and depth of management skills that Paul Mines and his
subsequent appointees have brought to the business is beginning to emerge and
there is more to come.
Our employees have experienced considerable management change over the past two
years and have put in a magnificent level of commitment during that time. The
employee base has been reduced significantly but is now beginning an upward
curve in line with improving sales. I hope that our employees will be able to
reap rewards in the same way as our shareholders as our success grows. May I
offer my thanks to all those who have contributed to our improving performance
this year.
Outlook
The current year has started well and we expect continued good progress in the
Group's main businesses. This gives the Board confidence in the outlook for
further development in 2008.
John Standen
Chairman
14th March 2008
Chief Executive's statement
The last year has been a very exciting and challenging one for Stanelco as the
Group has brought greater focus and development impetus to its technology and
products. This will allow us to ensure we deliver the commercialisation of our
current portfolio of developments.
The decision to concentrate the management attention onto two key areas of the
business is yielding benefits in the clarity of purpose of our team and
encouragingly greater interest from customers for trials and tenders. There is
some early indication of direct sales uplift but this remains limited to-date.
We have a cohesive new product origination and industrialisation plan that is
already seeing several innovative new products launched in the RF Applications
business and others in the pipe-line of the BioPlastics business.
The year has seen considerable progress on the elimination of vestigial claims
and issues holding back the business by managerial distraction or legal/
financial obligation. Whilst minor issues remain, these no longer represent a
distraction to the business.
In the future we are seeking to commercialise our developing product range
through direct sales, partnerships and other innovative routes.
Operational Review
STANELCO BIOPLASTICS
A single Stanelco BioPlastics operating unit was established in the year
incorporating Biotec, the global sales function for bioplastic resins and the
activities of Aquasol.
Stanelco's bioplastic products build on 17 years of development at Biotec and
are being enhanced by both ongoing development at Biotec and the increasing
depth and experience of the technical team at Stanelco.
The global bioplastics market is emergent with various technology types
competing for what still remains a limited requirement. In Europe the market to
date has been focused on biodegradability and compostability; this has favoured
thinner materials such as films for bags. In North America and Asia it appears
that the market has a greater desire for 'sustainability' and for bio materials
which replace oil based materials in part or completely. Specific underlying
demands and growth rates remain difficult to predict as various customer bases
assess their appetite for the differing properties and often additional costs
associated with biomaterials.
Whilst we believe the existing product offering is 'best-in-class' versus
competitive biomaterials, the functional attributes often fall far short of
existing oil based products (backed, as they are, by decades of development).
The Board has therefore decided to complement the development activities at
Biotec with a pilot/development unit at the Company's headquarters in
Southampton under Paul Law's leadership (Paul was appointed MD of the
BioPlastics division in October 2007). This unit has recently been commissioned
and an extensive set of trials is planned over the next six months.
Sales activities were re-organised during the year, particularly in relation to
expanded reach into continental Europe. The early signs from this are promising
with a greater level of customer contact and pre-commercial trials. Local
arrangements for sales in North America were terminated in the period, it is
expected that we shall be developing a renewed approach to this market in 2008.
Biotec
Biotec is responsible for researching, developing and manufacturing a range of
biodegradable products from its base in Germany to support the sales and
manufacturing activities of Stanelco and Sphere. Stanelco holds a 'Golden Share'
in the ownership arrangement with SPhere that is due to expire on 31 December
2009.
Investment in new equipment at Biotec during the year of £1.0 million increased
effective capacity to 7,500 tonnes per annum. The end result is a capable and
modern automated facility that, while unproven as yet by demand, may be able to
flex up to 20,000 tonnes per annum in its current footprint/configuration.
Novamont has brought proceedings against Biotec and SPhere and certain group
companies of SPhere claiming infringement of the French and Italian designations
of Novamont's European Patent Numbers EP 0 327 505, EP 0 947 559 and EP 0 937
120 (Novamont Patent).
Biotec is defending these claims on the basis that the claims in the Novamont
Patents relied on by Novamont are not infringed by Biotec and/or are invalid.
We are advised that the proceedings are at an early stage and a judgment is not
expected for a year or two at least. Stanelco and Biotec continue to take
professional and technical advice with regard to this litigation and are
confident of a successful outcome.
Biotec is core to Stanelco's future growth plans and we believe that the
existing product range and underlying science base provide a robust platform for
growth.
Aquasol
The Aquasol activities were merged into the Stanelco BioPlastics division during
the year. The Company commissioned a report from PricewaterhouseCoopers to
review a number of Aquasol patents. This, together with our own analysis, has
enabled us to concentrate development activity into those patents which are most
likely to provide sustainable and profitable growth. We are also considering
further product developments that will utilise Stanelco's own bioplastic
materials.
Royalty and commission agreements continue in place for Quantum Finish with
Reckitt Benckiser. There is some continuing interest in FrogPack and this is
being explored with a potential marketing partner. FrogMat is a re-pulpable
protective packaging with cushioning properties, and a pilot production machine
for this product has been completed and validated and is expected to be shipped
to our development/commercialisation partner in the first half of 2008.
RF APPLICATIONS
Our traditional RF business has received significant attention through the year.
The Board has reviewed the product portfolio and the market areas that the
business can hope to compete in successfully. The core elements of the business
remain mobile welders, fibre optics furnaces, zirconia tubes and general parts
and servicing.
Work on GreenSeal food tray sealing ceased during the period following
unsuccessful trials and a review of its technological efficacy and cost when
compared with conventional heat sealing alternatives. This has allowed
concentration on the existing customer base which has already produced repeat
orders of products not previously sold for some time. Stanelco has a good brand
reputation in this area for long-lasting and technically well engineered
products.
The management team are rebuilding an innovative OEM (original equipment
manufacturer) RF business. We are refilling the product pipeline and
value-engineering the existing product range. This is now being followed by a
review of the sales and market access structure with around half of enquiries
(by value) now originating in Asia.
Financial Review
The Group's revenue increased to £8.1 million (14 months to 31 December 2006:
£6.7 million) principally due to volume increases within Biotec by the sale of
biodegradable resins to SPhere.
The Group's opening cash position was £12.9 million. During the year the net
final instalment of the Biotec deferred consideration of £1.6 million was paid.
The cash movements are detailed in the consolidated cashflow statement and
supporting note. The closing cash position was £8.1 million.
The loss from operations before exceptional items for the period, £3.1 million,
was in line with the Board's expectations. The finance related income and
expense, including foreign exchange gains, was £0.6 million.
The strategic review undertaken during the year resulted in the following
one-off items in the period:
• impairment of intangible assets in respect of GreenSeal and Aquasol of
£2.3 million; and
• costs related to discontinued operation of £0.2 million
While the Board is aware that these one-off charges have had a significant
impact on the period's results, the Directors believe that these measures have
been necessary for the long-term benefit of the Group.
The net loss following these one-off items is £5.0 million. The resulting loss
per share is 0.169p and shareholders' funds reduced by £3.5 million to £21.3
million in the year.
The Group has identified that under IFRS, certain aspects of the accounting for
prior period acquisitions required restatement. The adjustments required have
no cash impact and no material impact upon the 2007 reported result.
Advisory Appointments
The Company has appointed advisors during the year which it considers more
appropriate to its future requirements. These include auditors Grant Thornton UK
LLP, insurance brokers Heath Lambert Limited, solicitors Osborne Clarke LLP and
bankers Royal Bank of Scotland plc
Employees
There has been considerable organisational change in the year. Average employee
numbers fell from 84 to 54 with most of this difference being accounted for in
the UK business.
This has included the recruitment of a number of experienced senior executives,
redundancy for some individuals and the significant changing of direction for
our staff.
I would like to thank all our employees for their commitment during this period
and their readiness to accept the challenges that have faced with
professionalism and enthusiasm.

*In the period ended 31 October 2005 transaction costs incurred on an
acquisition of £180,000 were included as a cost of investment. These costs
should have been expensed through the profit and loss account. The impact of
this restatement in the consolidated accounts is to decrease goodwill and to
decrease the profit and loss reserve at 31 October 2005 by £180,000. There is
no impact upon the results or cash flows reported for the periods ended 31
December 2006 or 2007.
**Upon transition to IFRS deferred consideration in relation to two acquisitions
made prior to 31 October 2005 was not discounted as required by IFRS 3. The
impact of this restatement on the consolidated accounts is to reduce both
goodwill and deferred consideration payable at 31 October 2005 by £676,000.
Interest payable for the period ended 31 December 2006 and deferred
consideration payable at 31 December 2006 are both increased by £417,000. There
is no impact upon reported cash flows for 2006.
***In the period ended 31 December 2006 deferred consideration payable of
£800,000 was described as 'Shares to be issued' and was included within Equity.
The impact of this restatement is to decrease equity and increase non-current
liabilities as at 31 December 2006 by £800,000. There is no impact upon the
reported profit or cash flows for 2006.
