FULL YEAR RESULTS

RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010

Chief Executive's Report

RESULTS

Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2010 amounted to GBP8,489,519 compared to GBP8,231,068 for the previous year. This is an improvement of GBP258,451 or 3.1%.

Overall we recorded a profit for the year of GBP100,146, against a loss of GBP186,478 in 2009, after charging interest payable and stock write downs. The Company continues to pursue strategies to reduce overheads, improve productivity, reduce administrative procedures and increase sales.

Our export sales have increased from GBP1,318,129 last year to GBP1,786,619 in 2010. The increase has arisen in sales to both our traditional markets and the retail market which has remained buoyant both in the UK and overseas.

Our gross profits have held steady. The continued pursuit of improvement in all areas of operations has contributed to this, though our ability to progress at the rate we would like to is dependent upon cash resources.

TRADING

Our objectives for 2010 have been to continue to improve our operations in all areas from productivity through to customer service. In particular we are working hard to increase all sales and we are doing so despite the very difficult trading conditions.

The economic downturn may be showing signs of a rising curve in the financial markets but large scale reductions in public spending and redundancies in the public sector without doubt will have an impact on our traditional business that we must compensate for in other market areas.

A return to profit of GBP100,146 for the year confirmed that we are following the right path.

DIRECTORS, MANAGEMENT AND STAFF

The revised management structure, which clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of the executive directors and managers, is working well. The on-going improvements within the company both in administrative and performance terms, and in actual working conditions are reflected in good staff morale, though in common with many businesses we have not raised salaries this year and have only increased wages in response to statutory requirements.

Nicholas Ellwood has joined the management team with responsibility for Business Development in the Masonic and Friendly Societies market.

OUTLOOK

This last year has been about investment in the company, our customers and our communities. By this I do not mean using our precious cash resources to achieve change though this has been done too, but much of the investment has been in time, training, ingenuity and sheer hard work. I want this to continue in the year ahead.

It is easy to be diverted by grim news in this country and overseas, and we need to factor in the impact these events may have on our business, but we have to keep our eye on the ball - we have achieved a momentum of change and improvement and must carry it through and gather speed and effect as we do so.

Management are committed to continuing the Company tradition of high quality manufacture in metal, enamel and textiles. We are committed to the two present factory sites and are implementing an on-going programme to improve productivity. Both sites now boast handsome Showrooms. In the case of the Bedworth factory this is also a shop for the local schools and clubs. It is very important to raise awareness and appreciation of the manufacturing process amongst our present and future customers as this materially influences their decisions to place orders or buy.

Our manufacturing is intrinsic to the Company, but it is no longer the engine room. We win the work for a fashion cufflink, corporate headwear, Civic Badge or army uniform because of our design. Obviously our interpretation and production of the design, and service is key, but you have to get the order first!

We are working to create a far more pro-active sales team to communicate all the Company's possibilities to customers old and new, and respond to the customer's requirements in terms of design, quality, price, delivery and service. Sales in turn must be backed up by our design team, and our sourcing team, who may choose to procure product from our own factories or outside the Company depending on the customer's requirements.

The new warehouse facilities on our Bedworth site are now nearing completion and we are already successfully providing the inventory and distribution services for some of our key customers. This facility will also become the order intake and distribution hub for our e-commerce service as it is added to and improved during the year. The development and delivery of our improved e-commerce sites has proved a far greater challenge than I anticipated, our greatest enemy being the sheer amount and variation of product we produce. I am pleased to report that we are now getting on top of this challenge and you will see new e-commerce sites added to the www.toye.com website during the course of the year.

Apprenticeship is the 'buzz word' at the moment, and has real significance for us as it is essential to bring young blood into the company and the trade. Our company is unique in the sheer breadth of skills and training possibilities on offer. But the reality is that ours is a lowly paid business, margins are tight and profit elusive. An apprentice costs in the region of GBP10,000-GBP12,000 to train per annum. There needs to be a source of supplementary funding that follows the apprentice for employers in our trade to take them on in any number, and fundamentally we need to bring the right sort of work into our workshops too. However I am working with others in the Jewellery Quarter to develop a workable scheme.

We are justifiably proud of our traditional skills, and our design capabilities and I have not yet mentioned innovation and product development. In partnership with Bradford University we launched a new textile infra-red badge. This has been very well received, and is already being trialled by a number of Special Force Units and Security forces. After the Idex Show in Abu Dhabi in February it was 'blogged' as the best innovation at the Show, an accolade indeed considering the other contenders.

Whilst we consider that the trading conditions will continue to be difficult the Directors are hopeful that the success of 2010 will continue. In 2011 the Company will continue to design, manufacture and supply beautifully conceived and crafted identity products in the UK and worldwide.

 1. Basis of preparation 
  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance 
  with IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 
  ("IFRIC") interpretations as adopted by the European Union, and those 
  parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under 
  IFRS. 
         2. Segmental reporting 
 
 In identifying its operating segments, management generally follow the 
 manufacturing or sourcing of the products. The Group operates in the supply 
 of identity products to a large and varied market and customer base. The type 
 of products sold into this market generally fall under either a textile or 
 metals (including corporate gifts) umbrella. The exception to this being the 
 friendly societies market. Each of the textile, metals and friendly societies 
 operating segments is managed separately as each of these segments requires 
 different resources and core skills. All transfers between the segments are 
 carried out at cost. The measurement policies the Group uses for segment 
 reporting under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in its financial statement. 
 Management currently identifies three units as operating segments as 
 described above. These operating segments are monitored and strategic 
 decisions are made on the basis of segment operating results.

  as such the trade payables are not attributed to the business sectors. 
  Borrowing and finance costs are arranged centrally by the Group and are 
  not attributed to the business sectors.
