Chairman's Statement
Group sales for the first six months increased by 5.5% from £245.7 million to
£259.1 million including a contribution of £4.3 million from the businesses
acquired since July last year. Profit before amortisation of intangibles,
interest and tax increased by 7.2% from £19.74 million to £21.16 million.
Sales on a like for like basis increased by 3.1% in the UK and 7.2% in
Continental Europe.
Earnings and dividend
Basic earnings per share increased by 6.4% from 15.6p to 16.6p. The board is
pleased to declare an interim dividend of 5.35p per share, an increase of 10.3%
on last year's interim dividend of 4.85p per share. The dividend will be paid
on 2 January 2008 to shareholders on the register at 7 December 2007.
UK operations
With the establishment of the regional commercial business sector, the group
operates with five clearly defined business sectors. These sectors now
incorporate 50 businesses operating from 21 principal distribution centres and 7
service centres. The management teams in these businesses enjoy product, sales
and marketing autonomy whilst complying with consistent operating procedures and
strict financial reporting disciplines.
The 5 business sectors are:
Regional multi-product: these 20 regional businesses, which account for 60% of
UK sales and market and distribute a comprehensive range of residential and
commercial floorcovering, increased their sales by 2.5%.
National multi-product: due to the ongoing success of the Mercado business and
its national infrastructure, we currently have a project underway to expand its
Leeds distribution hub by 20,000 square feet to 205,000 square feet. This will
further enhance the opportunity for Mercado to develop its residential and
commercial business throughout England and Wales.
Regional commercial: this newly formed sector is growing ahead of expectations
with the benefit of the acquisitions of Concept (Midlands) in October 2006 and
3D Flooring Supplies in March 2007. Total sales of the 10 businesses grew by
26.6%. It is our intention, either through acquisition or establishing new
operations, to increase the geographical coverage of this sector.
Residential specialist: the 13 specialist businesses operating in this sector
continue to prosper with sales growing by 8.1%, principally in medium and high
quality carpet products. The recent acquisition of the trade and assets of
Plantation Rug Company during July 2007, gives the group an opportunity to
further develop sales of rugs in addition to our existing activities through
Crucial Trading and National Carpets.
Commercial specialist: the original three businesses in this sector have enjoyed
a positive first half with sales increasing by 12.7%. The sector has been
enhanced by the acquisition during April 2007 of Florprotec, a leading supplier
of floor protection products in the UK.
Fundamental to the group's strategy and policy is the ongoing development and
relationships with the leading floorcovering manufacturers of residential and
commercial products. This ensures that the group and subsequently its customers
are at the forefront of all new product development for the UK marketplace.
The group continues to maximise its market presence through 337 employed
external sales people who, during the first six months, have positioned 448,000
point of sale items into independent floorcovering retailers and flooring
contractors to support the launch of 2,165 new product ranges. This has enabled
growth through each of our product segments of carpet, residential vinyl, wood,
laminate and commercial flooring.
Investments
The new 105,000 square foot purpose built freehold facility for Wilkies in Leeds
became operational in October 2006 and this business is operating ahead of
expectations. We have now commenced construction of a new freehold facility for
MCD Wales in Bridgend which will be operational in the spring of 2008. The
group continues to assess other opportunities to re-house existing businesses,
increasing capacity in conjunction with the latest material handling capability,
to allow them to continue to develop their business and exploit market
opportunities.
Continental Europe
Our three businesses in France, Switzerland and the Netherlands have continued
their significantly improved performance from 2006 into 2007. The management
teams of these businesses have capitalised on improving marketing conditions and
each business contributed to a combined increase in sales of 7.2%. This has
resulted in operating margins improving from 2.7% to 3.6%.
Acquisitions
The three recently acquired businesses; 3D Flooring Supplies, Florprotec and
Plantation Rug Company enlarge our activities in the business sectors of
regional commercial, commercial specialist and residential specialist
respectively. Each of these acquisitions, including Concept (Midlands) acquired
in October 2006, are performing ahead of expectations. The group continues to
evaluate acquisitions in both the UK and Continental Europe. We would
anticipate making further acquisitions which enhance our market position and
contribute to an increase in profitability.
Purchase of own shares
Earlier this year, the board decided to commence a share buy-back programme to
return cash to shareholders and improve balance sheet efficiency. Further to
our announcement on 25 May 2007 regarding the introduction of a share buy-back
programme, I can report that as at 30 June 2007, the company had acquired
2,118,006 shares at an average price of £5.85 per share. Since then, a further
1,185,000 million shares have been acquired at an average price of £5.54 per
share bringing expenditure during the year to date to £18.96 million.
Adjusted profit
Profit before amortisation of intangibles, interest and tax has been calculated
as follows:
2007 2006
£000 £000
Profit for the period 14,415 13,582
Add:
Taxation 6,178 5,961
Net financing costs 147 200
Amortisation of intangibles 415 -
------- -------
Adjusted profit 21,155 19,743
------- -------
Cash flow
In keeping with our policy of providing our customers with an extensive product
offering and high levels of service, we invested a further £7.5 million in
inventory during the first six months of 2007. This was the primary reason for
cash generated from operations declining from £11.7 million last year to £6.9
million.
Cash outflows from investing activities included £2.9 million expended on
acquisitions during the first half. Included within this amount is £1.5 million
relating to the purchase of intangible assets. In line with our policy on
intangible assets, £0.4 million has been amortised through the income statement
during the first six months and the balance will be amortised in full during the
six month period to 31 December 2007.
Cash flows from financing activities include £12.4 million relating to the
purchase of shares during the first six months.
The combination of additional inventory investment, acquisition activity and the
share buy-back programme meant that net cash decreased by £22.1 million during
the first half of 2007 compared with a decrease of £3.4 million during the
equivalent period last year
Outlook
During 2007, the group has enjoyed a progressively improving sales trend and we
are well positioned entering the traditionally busy autumn selling period. The
management teams of our individual businesses in the UK and Continental Europe
are clearly focused on their product, sales and operations and we look forward
to achieving our objectives for the year.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim financial information has been prepared applying the accounting
policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the group's
published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 are not
the group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been
reported on by the group's auditors and delivered to the registrar of companies.
The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference
to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without
qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 237
(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
2 ESTIMATES
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the
significant judgements made by management in applying the group's accounting
policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that
applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended
31 December 2006.
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
All aspects of the group's financial risk management objectives and policies are
consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated financial statements as at
and for the year ended 31 December 2006.

4 SEGMENT REPORTING
The group's activities are wholly aligned to the sales, marketing, supply and
distribution of floorcovering products. These activities are carried out from
business centres located in both the UK and Continental Europe. The group's
internal management structure and financial reporting systems treat the UK and
Continental Europe as two separate segments because of the difference in reward
arising from these two markets and this forms the basis for the geographical
presentation of the primary segment information given below.

Management has access to information that provides details on sales and gross
margin by principal product group and across the five principal business sectors
which comprise Regional multi-product, National multi-product, Regional
commercial, Residential specialist and Commercial specialist. However, this
information is not provided as a secondary segment since the group's operations
are not managed by reference to these sub classifications and the presentation
would require an arbitrary allocation of overheads, assets and liabilities
undermining the presentation's validity and usefulness.
