ISIN: GB0004182720 for 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Shares

ISIN: GB0004182506 for Ordinary Shares

Chairman's statement

Another year of good housekeeping has returned a satisfactory set of results in what continues to be a difficult period for Public Houses. The headline figures may appear to be somewhat flat against the previous year but, given the uncertainty of the European and National economic situations, I consider this to be a solid performance; and I am most grateful for the hard work of our head office team and the staff of the pubs themselves in achieving these results.

Results

Turnover for the Group decreased by GBP36,000 (0.49%) to GBP7,352,000 and generated a Group Operating Profit of GBP1,408,000 (2010 - GBP1,427,000) after consolidation adjustments.

Heavitree Inns remained dormant throughout the year.

Heavitree Inc. generated an operating profit of GBP9,000 (2010 - Loss of GBP15,000).

Key Performance Indicators

   --    Adjusted Operating Profit before Taxation GBP1,408,000 was down 1.33% on last year. 
   --    Interest costs were covered 13.40 times. 

Dividend

The Directors recommend a final dividend of 3.5p per Ordinary and 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Share (2010 - 3.5p) making a total for the year of 7p, which is unchanged from last year. The dividend will be paid on 20 April 2012, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting on 13 April 2012, to shareholders on the Register at 23 March 2012.

Capital Investments

Various capital works were carried out in the year under review with those of significant expenditure being at the following sites:

The New Inn, Alphington (major refurbishment).

Car park of the closed St. Loyes Hotel (housing development).

The Royal Oak, Heavitree (creation of a new outside patio seating area).

The Brunswick Arms, Dawlish (upgrade of lavatories).

Old Barbers Shop, Newton Abbot (conversion to residential apartment).

Pension Scheme

The Company continues to meet its funding obligations to its closed final salary Pension Scheme. The required Scheme triennial valuation as at 1 January 2011 is not, at the time of writing, completed. The deadline for completion is 31 March 2012 and I look forward to providing an update at theAnnual General Meeting.

Repurchase of Shares

The Company did not repurchase any of its own shares during the year under review, but the Directors intend to seek shareholder approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting for the continuing authority to do so.

Personnel

I am delighted to report the appointment of Nicky McLean as Assistant Company Secretary during the year under review. Nicky joined us in September 2001 and is a valued member of our head office team. We wish her the very best in her new appointment.

Outlook

The company renewed its banking facilities with Barclays just after the end of the year under review and this certainty of finance, together with the continued support that we have always offered to our landlords and landladies, leaves us well positioned should there be a change in the economic climate. We also have development plans for the small number of closed houses and I shall report on them as and when they are completed.

The trading environment, as I reported last year, remains difficult but I look forward to another steady performance by the Company in 2012.

The accounting policies have been consistently applied and are described in full in the statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2011, which are expected to be mailed to shareholders on 12 March 2012.

2. Basic and diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of Ordinary shares and 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary shares outstanding during the year as diluted for the share options in issue.

The following reflects the income and shares data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share

computations:

  (excluding treasury shares)                   5,129     5,139 
 Dilutive potential ordinary shares: 
   Employee share options                           -         - 
 
 Diluted weighted average number of shares      5,129     5,139 
                                             --------  -------- 
 

There have been no other transactions involving ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares between the reporting date and the date of completion of these financial statements.

Employee share options could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future but are not included in the 2011 calculation of dilutive earnings per share because they are antidilutive for the period presented.
