Background note:
Printing.com
In the UK, Ireland & France Printing.com offers a broad product range including leaflets, booklets, postcards, promotional cards, invitations, letterheads and business cards to consumers and small and medium sized companies. Unlike its competitors, Printing.com's Stores and Franchises do not depend on any printing equipment on site. The Group's printing and ancillary equipment is based at the centralised Production Hub with the head office in Manchester. All work is produced in full four colour rather than two colour. The printing sector has traditionally been served by smaller printing companies or other On Demand Printers and is estimated to be worth some £1- £2 billion.
Printing.com has three routes to market: Franchise Stores, Bolt-on Franchises and Company owned Stores.
A complete list of Printing.com's active Outlets in the UK & Ireland is included at the end of the release.

Unaudited Interim Results for the period ended 30 September 2009
Chairman's & Chief Executive's Statement
Trading Results, Cash and Dividend
During the Interim Period, covering the 6 months ended 30 September 2009, your Company recorded a Pre Tax Profit of £0.87m (2008: £1.02m); a decrease of £0.15m.
Of this decrease, £0.10m reflects some erosion of operational margin, attributable to increased discounting and promotional activity and a drop in financial income of £0.05m, due to lower interest rates and deposit balances.
Total Retail Sales (TRS), the measure that we believe best indicates transactional volumes, increased marginally by 0.1% to £13.18m (2008: £13.17m). Turnover decreased by 0.7% to £7.13m (2008: £7.18m).
Aside from the Final Dividend totalling £0.93m (paid 23 July) your Board elected to return additional funds to shareholders by means of a Special Dividend, totalling £0.89m (paid 26 June). This additional return of funds is reflected in the Company's lower net assets and cash balances.
At 30 September, the Company had cash-in-hand of £1.79m (2008; £2.94m). Cash generated by operating activities was £0.99m (2008: £1.19m). During the Period working capital increased by £0.25m, the Company paid dividends of £1.82m (2008: £0.89m) and made capital expenditure of £0.40m (2008: £0.29m), principally being the ongoing investment in its Flyerlink software. Net funds at the close of the period were £0.58m (2008: £0.95m).
The Directors are declaring an Interim Dividend of 1.05p per share to be paid on 11 December 2009 to shareholders on the register at 20 November 2009.
Current Trading
Post the last update, trading has followed a similar pattern, however it remains at a level slightly below that of the previous year.
Estate Development
Notwithstanding the difficult trading conditions, during the period, your Company was able to record a net increase of seven outlets, across the UK and Ireland.
Overall, our objective remains the expansion of the network to a level in excess of 300 outlets by the close of the current fiscal year.

Like for Like
The Printing.com like for like metric takes into account the growth of turnover in defined Territories (in geographic terms outside of London these are typically the size of a county) embracing not only the Store, but also the Bolt-on Franchises under the umbrella of the Territory. Only Territories with Stores that have been operational for over three years are included.
Reflecting the more challenging trading conditions, like for like growth proved negative during the interim period (2.47)% versus growth of 16.3% for the similar period last year.
International Development
Printing.com's New Zealand Master Licence partner continues to make progress albeit the limited population of the country ultimately puts a constraint on the earning potential. Our US partners, following on from their launch earlier this year, continue with their endeavours to establish Printing.com across Florida and Georgia. We remain optimistic for the potential of the Printing.com concept throughout the wider USA.
Your Company previously reported its intention to establish two directly owned outlets in France. Premises for the first outlet are on the cusp of being secured with an anticipated launch in early 2010. Across the French network, whilst still at an early stage, encouraging trading patterns continue to be established and we remain optimistic for further progress.
By mutual agreement, the Company's Master Licence in Iceland has been terminated.
Network Partners and Websites
These initiatives were centred on the logic for supplying additional printed products (pens, work apparel and promotional merchandise) supplied by third party producers, along with enterprise level websites.
Over the Interim Period, both of these offerings have been enhanced, additional training delivered and rolled out across the Printing.com UK network. Having made this investment, we remain optimistic that moving forward these initiatives will make a modest yet worthwhile contribution.
Outlook
At the outset of the current financial year, certain forecasts suggested a return to economic growth in the UK by this juncture; recent data suggests that this has not been the case. In common with wider economic indicators, the Company's Franchisees continue to report a cautious market sentiment.
To counteract these difficult conditions, the Printing.com offering has been enhanced by more potent promotional pricing. Whilst operational efficiencies have mitigated the full impact of this strategy, some erosion of operational margin has, and continues to be, encountered.
Whilst conditions remain challenging, it is without doubt that the Printing.com model is faring better than the printing sector at large and is, to the best of our knowledge, the only printing franchise to report a growth in its estate of late. Also the confidence to pay an additional Special Dividend (during the Interim Period), coupled with your Company's absence of net debt and continued cash generation, highlights the robustness of the Printing.com business model.
Accordingly, it is appropriate for us to remain cautious in the short term but to reiterate the previous sentiment, we believe that, as and when the economic situation across the UK and Ireland improves, Printing.com will be well placed to capitalise on its position.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the recognition and measurement requirements of EU-IFRS that are endorsed by the EU and effective at 30 September 2009.
These financial statements do not include all information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 March 2009.
2 Significant accounting policies
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2009.
a) Determination and presentation of operating segments
As of 1 April 2009 the Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that internally is provided to the CEO, who is the Group's chief operating decision maker. This change in accounting policy is due to the adoption of IFRS 8 Operating Segments. Previously operating segments were determined and presented in accordance with IAS 14 Segment Reporting. The new accounting policy in respect of segment operating disclosures is presented as follows.
Comparative segment information has been re-presented in conformity with the transitional requirements of IFRS 8. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation and disclosure aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share.
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group's other components. An operating segment's operating results are reviewed regularly by the CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company's headquarters), head office expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.
b) Presentation of financial statements
The Group applies revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (2007), which became effective as of 1 April 2009. As a result, the Group presents in the consolidated statement of changes in equity all owner changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This presentation has been applied in these condensed interim financial statements as of and for the six months period ended on 30 September 2009.
Comparative information has been re-presented so that it also is in conformity with the revised standard. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation aspects, there is no impact on earnings per share.
3 Segmental analysis
In adopting IFRS 8 - Operating Segments for the first time, the Group has disclosed two reportable segments, being Printing services and Franchise income. This disclosure correlates with the information which is presented to the Group's Chief Decision Maker, the CEO, which reviews revenues by segment, but margin, operating costs and assets at a consolidated level.

4 Taxation
The tax charge is based on the base tax rate of 28% (six month period ended 30 September 2008: 29.7%).
5 Earnings per share
The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the profit after taxation divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue, being 44,349,763 (period ended 30 September 2008:44,597,883; year ended 31 March 2009: 44,485,293).
The diluted earnings per share takes the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period and adjusts this for dilutive impact of share options existing at the period end. The diluted weighted average number of shares in the period ended 30 September 2009 was 44,529,385 (period ended 30 September 2008: 45,148,821; year ended 31March 2009: 44,701,623). The profit used in the diluted earnings per share is based on profit after taxation.
Independent Review Report to Printing.com plc
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly report for the six months ended 30 September 2009 which comprises Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income,, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related explanatory notes. We have read the other information contained in the half-yearly report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.
Directors' responsibilities
The half-yearly report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the half-yearly report in accordance with the AIM Rules.
The annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the EU. The condensed set of financial statements included in this half-yearly report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRSs as adopted by the EU.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the half-yearly report for the six months ended 30 September 2009 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the AIM Rules.
