Kevin Mahoney, Chief Executive, commented:
"This is our first full year of operation and I am very pleased with these results. Both acquired
businesses produced good results and have started 2006 well. Current trading is ahead of budget.
The acquisition of Wansdyke has made us a significant player in the document storage market. There
is very little customer crossover with Restore and both businesses will benefit. We have already
started the process of integrating management and systems."
"We have built a business from a cash shell in November 2004 with a market value of £2m to a
profitable business with an annual turnover in excess of £35m, including Wansdyke, and a market
value of around £46m. I am confident that we can continue to grow the business both organically
and by acquisitions."

Notes to editors:
Mavinwood Plc was launched on AIM in November 2004 and is pursuing a Buy & Build strategy in
Support Services. The strategy is to acquire and develop specialist support services businesses
that have the potential for growth, either organically or in combination with other complementary
businesses. The initial focus is in the document storage and emergency insurance services sectors.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW
Review of operations
2005 was an important period in the development of the Mavinwood Group. On 1 January 2005, the
Company was an AIM listed cash shell capitalised at £2 million with a strategy of building a
support services group. During 2005 we completed two acquisitions which will provide the Group
with a platform for growth.
Since the end of the year we have acquired Wandsdyke Security Limited another document storage
business, for £11.2 million in cash and have commenced the combination of the business with
Restore.
The Mavinwood Group results comprise four elements in 2005:
* Operating profit of Restore for the 33 weeks from 10 May 2005.
* Operating profit of ANSA for the six months from 30 June 2005.
* Central costs for the whole of calendar year 2005. These are the Board costs and the costs
of operating an AIM listed company.
* Net interest payable. During the first four months of the year we operated with interest
income from funds on deposit, moving to interest expense after the acquisition of Restore.
Results
Turnover in the year was £15,264,000 and the profit before tax and amortisation of goodwill, was
£1,495,000. The profit before tax and after goodwill amortisation was £635,000. At 31 December
2005, net debt of the Group amounted to £4,335,000. After the acquisition of Wansdyke net debt is
approximately £16 million.
Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS at 0.10p compares with a loss per share in our first year of 1.07p. Adjusted basic EPS
before goodwill amortisation was 0.56p. Assuming the exercise of all options and awards under our
LTIP plus the conversion of the convertible A shares at an average price in 2005 of 10.05p, the
fully diluted EPS before goodwill amortisation would become 0.53p. This represents dilution of
approximately 5.7% compared to the basic adjusted EPS.
Interest
Net interest payable amounted to £213,000 as we borrowed to part fund the acquisitions of Restore
and ANSA. Interest cover in 2005 was 8.0 times.
Taxation
The tax charge during 2005 was 30.2%, (as a percentage of profit before goodwill amortisation and
taxation) slightly above the standard expected rate of 30%. This was due to central costs incurred
in the earlier part of the year, prior to the first acquisition which did not qualify for group
tax relief.
Dividends
The Board is not recommending the payment of a dividend in order to re-invest in our businesses.
Document storage
Restore
On 10 May 2005, we completed the acquisition of the Restore business. Restore archives, stores and
retrieves documents on behalf of its clients, with a particular focus on the legal profession.
Mavinwood paid an initial consideration of £6.1 million for the business and depending upon the
level of increased operating profit in the twelve months ending 31 March 2006, the Restore vendors
could earn additional consideration. Current levels of trading indicate an additional sum of £2.6
million, half in cash and half in Mavinwood shares, will be made during April 2006. The cash
element will be funded by a bank facility so no further equity placing will be required to fund
the additional consideration. Restore has contributed revenue of £2,291,000 and operating profit
of £614,000 in the thirty three weeks ended 31 December 2005. A number of new clients were won
despite strong competition, principally due to our excellent service levels.
Wansdyke
We have acquired Wansdyke since the year end. Since 1954, Wansdyke has specialised in the secure
off-site storage and management of clients' critical information, including individual live files,
medical records and documents, archive document boxes, x-ray material, microfilm and microfiche.
Providing highly secure underground private and shared vaults, Wansdyke offers a tailored solution
to clients' specific requirements, all maintained in line with British Standards regulations
governing temperature and humidity and with Government approved security clearance. Organisations
are represented from wide ranging markets including the Financial, Government, Medical, Legal,
Retail and Commercial Sectors.
Wansdyke is an excellent fit with our existing document storage business, Restore. It doubles our
turnover in document storage to approximately £8 million and makes us a significant player in this
market. There is very little customer crossover between Wandsdyke and Restore. In addition,
Wansdyke provides considerable additional storage capacity which can be utilised by both
businesses.
Emergency and insurance services
ANSA
On 30 June 2005, Mavinwood completed the acquisition of the ANSA business. ANSA is a specialist in
insurance claims handling with particular expertise in drainage claims. ANSA was established in
1981 as a regional business offering drainage services. It became a specialist in insurance claims
handling in 2000 and has subsequently developed IT systems and processes to service insurance
related drainage claims. ANSA identifies valid insurance claims, arranges for a survey of a site
and recommends necessary repairs, which may be undertaken either by ANSA's in-house contractors or
by one of its UK network of accredited sub-contractors. ANSA also provides health and safety
training for its staff and for external corporate clients at two sites in the North West of
England.
Mavinwood paid £17.3 million for the business in addition to the repayment of £7.6 million of
indebtedness in ANSA. Of the total consideration, directors of ANSA took £1,851,000 in shares of
Mavinwood. ANSA has contributed revenue of £12,973,000 and operating profit of £1,589,000 in the
six months ended 31 December 2005. 2005 was the driest year in England since 1921 and accordingly,
the level of drainage instructions from the insurance companies in the second half of 2005 was
fairly flat. Nevertheless, cost savings initiated ensured an advance in profits to £1,589,000 for
the half year with the prospect of a backlog of claims flowing through in 2006.
ANSA also won 'service provider of the year' at the Insurance Times awards ceremony during
December 2005 beating competitors from across the whole insurance industry.
Outlook
The Group ended the year with two established businesses and a market capitalisation of
approximately £34 million. The document storage and insurance industries continue to grow
strongly in 2006 and Restore and ANSA are trading in line with expectations. We have already added
Wansdyke and we plan to add further complementary businesses to these operations.

4 EARNINGS/ (LOSS) PER ORDINARY SHARE
Basic earnings per share have been calculated on the profit after taxation for the
year/period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
year/period.
Adjusted earnings per share which is before goodwill amortisation has been presented in
addition to the basic earnings per share since, in the opinion of the directors, this
provides shareholders with a more appropriate representation of the earnings derived from
the Group's present businesses.
