GOODWIN PLC
INTERIM STATEMENT FOR THE HALF YEAR TO 31ST OCTOBER 2006
The Group pre-tax profit was £2.8 million for the half year ending 31st October
2006, which represents a 34.2% increase over the same period last year. The half
year turnover increased to £30.5 million from £26.9 million.
The weakness of the US dollar versus the strength of sterling continues to be an
obstacle to winning business from the USA and the Pacific Basin countries, but
it is pleasing to report that the Group still had as at 31st October 2006 a very
healthy forward work load for its products at respectable margins and most of
this business has been won from the Pacific Basin countries and the USA.
Tight control of cash flow remains a priority because of the Group's increasing
levels of activity. The company had as at 31st October 2006 committed to
completing the first of two purchases. This purchase will result in a doubling
of our vermiculite manufacturing and sales output of insulation products.
