The above unaudited financial information does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 240 of the Companies Act 1985. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30th June 2001 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year but are derived from those accounts. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was unqualified and did not contain a statement under Section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. 2. FRS 17 - Retirement benefits was adopted in the financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2001. The comparative figures for the six months to 31st December 2000 have been restated accordingly. 3. The interim dividend of 5.08p will be paid on 8th April 2002 to shareholders on the register on 8th March 2002. 4. The Interim Report will be sent to all shareholders and a copy is available to the public from the registered office. Chairman's Statement: As announced in my statement at the annual general meeting, there has been a marked reduction in turnover for the 6 months to 31st December 2001, which has resulted in profit before tax of Â£5.3m (2000: Â£13.9m). This profit is after charging an exceptional amount of Â£1.3m in respect of the early retirement and voluntary redundancy programme introduced during the period. After taxation of Â£1.1m, earnings per share amounted to 5.8p (14.3p). Turnover for the period was Â£51.2m - still the second highest first half turnover in the Company's history, but a 15% reduction compared with the previous year's Â£60.2m. Turnover was particularly affected by the downturn of over 25% of sales in the USA and Japan, two of our largest markets. On the other hand, turnover in local currency terms rose in several other of our markets, including the other Asean countries, South America, Switzerland and France. All product sectors have shown a reduction in sales, except our Spectroscopy Products Division which grew strongly during the period. A new subsidiary has been established in the Czech Republic and suitable premises have been purchased. Further expansion in the growing Eastern Europe and Russian markets is being pursued. Additional office space has been acquired in Japan. Total capital expenditure during the period was Â£4.8m (Â£4.3m) and includes expenditure on our new offices in Switzerland and the extension to our office in Germany. As part of our continuing drive to improve production efficiency, further refurbishment is taking place at our Woodchester site in preparation for the transfer to this site of more of our production facilities. Certain capital expenditure has been deferred, including the planned development at New Mills. Net cash balances at the end of the period were Â£30.2m. We have continued to invest in research and development, with expenditure, including associated engineering expenses, of Â£9.3m during the period, up 7% on the Â£8.7m for the comparative period last year. Each of our seven products divisions will be introducing additional new products into their respective market sectors in 2002. We do not know how long the current downturn will last, but we do not anticipate a significant rise in demand for the remainder of this financial year. We do, however, expect an increase in turnover in the second half compared to the first half. The group continues to invest in research and development and to develop new markets. This, coupled with a recovery by our customers in industries such as semi-conductor, telecoms, engineering and aerospace, gives your Board every confidence in returning to its historic performance levels in the longer term. An interim dividend of 5.08p per share (4.84p) will be paid on 8th April 2002 to shareholders on the register on 8th March 2002.
