  GBP0.34m.) 
  *  Sales of GBP18.93m (GBP25.38m). 
  *  The board is not recommending an interim dividend reflecting current market

Litho Supplies Chief Executive Michael Hammond said: 
 
 
"The first half of 2009 has continued to be a challenging environment in which 
to operate. 
 
 
Uncertainty in financial markets and overcapacity in the printing industry have 
contributed to suppressed revenues and margins. 
 
 
The recently announced partnership agreement with Mitsubishi offers 
opportunities to increase sales when the economy starts to improve. 
With a much reduced cost base we look forward to 2010 with more confidence."

CHAIRMAN'S HALF YEARLY STATEMENT AND INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT 
 
 
 
 
Unaudited results for the six months ended 30th June 2009 
 
 
The unaudited half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2009 show a pre 
tax loss of GBP1.31m (Profit GBP0.34m) after adding back GBP0.35m (GBP0.30m) of 
costs associated with the reorganisation of the business. The loss before tax 
after reorganisation expenses was GBP1.66m (Profit GBP0.04m) and sales for the 
period were GBP18.93m (GBP25.38m). 
 
 
Basic loss (-) / earnings (+) per share for the six months ended 30 June 2009 
were (-7.49p) (+0.16p) Basic earnings per share before reorganisation costs were 
(-6.00p) (+1.52p). 
 
 
Uncertainty in financial markets continues to have an impact on our customers 
who face difficulties in obtaining finance. Several major equipment orders had 
to be cancelled affecting sales of capital equipment in the period. The downturn 
in the economy, also, has affected confidence and this has been a factor 
reflected in our level of consumable sales. 
 
 
Net borrowings at 30 June 2009 were GBP3.15m (GBP0.08m). 
 
 
The Board remains resolute in its efforts to restore the strength of the balance 
sheet and continues to focus on reducing the working capital requirements of the 
business. Given the loss in the year to date and the borrowings, the board will 
not be recommending an interim dividend. 
 
 
Trading performance 
 
 
Sales in the UK of consumable and media products, digital electronic, wide 
format and finishing equipment, the core activity of the business, were 
GBP18.93m (GBP25.38m). 
 
 
The decrease in the overall level of sales foreshadowed in previous trading 
statements reflects both the closure of our digital electronics division as well 
as the decline in the sales of consumable products driven by the general 
downturn in the economy. The loss of two large customers who went into 
liquidation in 2008 has also been a factor in the reduced level of sales. 
 
 
Very weak economic conditions are aggravating the competitive nature of the 
market, continuing to impact both sales and gross margins which remained under 
pressure during the first half of 2009. A further factor has been the necessity 
to increase the provision for bad debts within the now closed electronics 
division. 
 
 
However our telesales division continues to provide an additional service to 
customers and gross margins from this method of selling remain consistent. Also, 
in the last few months we have witnessed an increase in the number of online 
orders and we continue to work on improving this service with further upgrades 
to our computer system. 
 
 
It is now evident that the decision not to exhibit at the Northprint exhibition 
at Harrogate earlier in the year proved correct; whilst our attendance at the 
successful Sign UK wide format show at the NEC in April resulted in a number of 
new orders and sales opportunities. 
 
 
Prospects 
 
 
Whilst business this year remains very difficult we have continued to address 
our reorganisation programme, with the benefits of these latest measures 
expected to start to come through in 2010. 
 
 
The difficult economy and lack of available finance continues to force customers 
to use existing equipment rather than investing in new equipment. To offset 
this, we are concentrating our efforts on providing a reliable and cost 
effective service to our current consumable products customers, targeting new 
business to maintain and improve our market share. 
 
 
The recently announced partnership agreement with Mitsubishi should offer 
opportunities for sales of printing presses as well as an opportunity to 
increase service revenues. It will provide us with a showroom in Leeds to 
compliment the one we already have in Perivale, West London, providing our 
customers with easy access to view our consumable product range alongside the 
equipment. We have already begun demonstrations at the showroom in Leeds and 
regard the 2010 IPEX exhibition at the NEC as providing the first real 
opportunity for us to market widely the Mitsubishi range of printing presses to 
a wider customer base. This latest addition to our portfolio puts us in a better 
position to take advantage of any improvement in the economy and with a much 
reduced cost base, an increase in turnover at existing gross margins enables us 
to look forward to 2010 with more confidence. 
 
 
During these difficult times we are extremely grateful to our suppliers, our 
customers, our finance providers and our shareholders for their support. 
 
 
 As always I wish to thank all of our people for their loyalty and hard work. 
Their efforts are so important for the company and are very much appreciated.

Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements: 
 
 
 
 
  1.  The financial information in this half yearly statement for the six months ended 
  30 June 2009 and the comparative figures for the six months ended 30 June 2008 
  do not constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 240 of the Companies 
  Act 1985. The financial information for the full preceding year is extracted 
  from the statutory accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2008, as 
  stated under IFRS as adapted for use in the European Union. Those statutory 
  accounts, upon which the auditors issued an unqualified opinion, have been 
  delivered to the Registrar of Companies. 
  2.  The half yearly condensed financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 
  2009 have been prepared on the basis of the IFRS expected to be in issue for the 
  year ending 31 December 2009 and in accordance with the consistent use of 
  accounting policies that are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial 
  statements for the year ended 31 December 2008. 
  3.  The business risks disclosed in the directors' report and audited consolidated 
  financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008 were still applicable 
  for the six months ended 30 June 2009 and the board considers they will still 
  apply for the remainder of the financial year. Further information regarding 
  potential business risks to the Group is disclosed above in the chairman's half 
  yearly statement and interim management report.
