'Overall the Group is trading satisfactorily with the integration of our recent
acquisitions proceeding to plan.

The trends in our textile rental business continue to be encouraging and we
remain confident that the actions we have taken will continue to produce
improvements in this business.

The corporatewear division, which was expanded just after the end of last year
with the acquisition of Dewhirst Corporate Clothing Limited (DCC), is performing
strongly and is winning significant new business.

Our drycleaning division, in line with many other high street retailers, has
experienced variable trading conditions with like for like sales slightly down
overall. We have reduced our costs to an appropriate level and are prepared to
take further action as necessary.

Our Facilities Management business, Johnson Workplace Management Limited,
continues to perform strongly.

We remain confident in the prospects for the Group and continue to believe that
we will achieve a satisfactory outcome for the year.'
