These results and comparatives for the prior year have been prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. Revenue and Trading Revenue has increased by 13.6% to Â£175.8m (2005 Â£154.8m) with growth in all geographical regions, particularly notable being the Far East and North & South America increasing by 23% and 18% respectively. Revenue in all product lines grew with the sole exception of digitising where a large initial stock of dental demonstration products were delivered in the first half of 2005. Products reflecting significant growth include laser scale, machine tool, encoder and spectroscopy. Group revenue has benefited during the year to the extent of Â£2.9m due to more favourable currency exchange rates compared with the previous year and Â£1.4m (previous year Â£0.7m) currency hedging contracts. Profit Operating profit for the year has increased by 21% to Â£35.5m (2005 Â£29.3m). Profit before tax rose by 20% to Â£38.1m (2005 Â£31.7m) resulting in earnings per share up 20% at 41.9p (2005 34.9p). Manufacturing The group's production facilities in the UK have again undergone significant expansion. The manufacturing plant and machinery were successfully moved from New Mills to the company's facilities at Stonehouse with minimal disruption. The old machine hall at New Mills is now currently undergoing refurbishment to provide a pre-production machining and assembly facility, with completion scheduled for the end of July. At our Woodchester facility, 27,000 sq feet is being refurbished to provide both additional assembly space and a new automated storage facility for finished goods and components. The recently purchased facility in Pune, India, is currently being refurbished to provide additional and complementary production facilities and is due to be operational in September. Research and Development The group continues to expand its product range and a number of very promising new products have been introduced during the last 12 months, including the SiGNUMTM Intelligent Encoder with Fanuc serial output and RELM from our encoder product line.The GYROTM range of heads to complement the very well received REVOTM and RENSCAN5TM, were introduced at EMO held in Hannover in September 2005 by our co-ordinate measuring machine product line. The machine tool product line introduced the OMP400 high accuracy strain gauge probe and Productivity+TM Active Editor Pro for the graphical measurement cycle design environment. Further exciting developments have taken place in the dental field with the launch of the inciseTM scanning system for use by dental laboratories who are now being offered precision frameworks for crowns and bridges from the company's new dental manufacturing facility at Stonehouse. Total research and development expenditure during the year including engineering costs amounted to a record Â£29.3m (2005 Â£25.4m), of which Â£1.8m (2005 Â£0.5m) net of amortisation has been capitalised as an intangible asset in accordance with IFRS. Marketing The group continues its drive into developing markets with further sales and marketing representation, particularly in the growth markets of the Far East and India. In China, new offices have been established in Chengdu, Guangzhou and Shenyang, with an office in Qingdao about to open.There is now a representative office established in Thailand, with Malaysia to follow in the near future. A liaison office has also been established in Turkey. In India, additional staff have been recruited in Kolkatta, Punjab, Gujarat, Coimbatore, Hyderabad and Chennai and in Bangalore the staff have moved into larger premises. Investments In addition to the acquisition of a 50% interest in both PulseTeq Ltd and Metrology Software Products Ltd, reported at the half-year, the company purchased itp GmbH in May 2006. This is a German manufacturer of high quality styli and accessories, based in Volklingen, close to Saarbrucken on the German/ French border. itp GmbH designs and manufactures styli for touch trigger probe applications on co-ordinate measuring machines and CNC machine tools, plus styli for gear measurement systems and will further add to the company's market penetration of styli products. Queen's Award I am delighted to report that the company was granted a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovations Category in respect of its NC1 and NC4 non-contact tool setting systems; these are used for the automatic setting of cutting tool parameters within the harsh environment of CNC machine tools, together with tool breakage detection. This is the eleventh Queen's Award in the company's history. Balance Sheet The group aims to operate with a strong balance sheet including good liquidity. Total capital expenditure for the year on tangible fixed assets amounted to Â£13.2m (2005 Â£14.9m), of which Â£3.5m (2005 Â£6.0m) was property. Net cash balances at the 30th June 2006 were Â£30.7m compared with Â£30.1m at June 2005. Pension Fund The Board has for some time been discussing the future of the company pension fund with its trustees and has proposed the closure of the current defined benefit scheme to new employees and the establishment of a defined contribution category within the existing trust. The contribution rates for existing members would also be increased. A consultation process is being undertaken with a view to the changes becoming effective from 1st November 2006. The pension fund liability as at 30th June 2006 measured under the rules for IAS19, net of deferred tax, has decreased to Â£13.4m (2005 Â£14.8m). Personnel The number of staff employed in the group at the end of the year increased by 7% to 2,004 (2005 1,865). Recruitment has principally been in overseas marketing, UK manufacturing and engineering. I would like to thank all staff worldwide for their contribution to yet another demanding but very successful year. Prospects and Dividend The current year has again started well. We continue to invest in the research and development of new products and new market areas as well as manufacturing processes to improve efficiency. Providing there are no major adverse currency movements or a significant downturn in world economies, we are confident of continuing growth, both for the current year and the longer-term future. Your board proposes a final dividend of 15.07p per share, giving a total for the year of 21.78p (2005 19.8p).
