Chief Executive's Statement

Results

For the half year your Company has achieved a profit of GBP527,559, an increase on the GBP9,120 reported at this time in 2011.

The turnover is GBP5,476,188, an increase on last year's GBP4,495,726. It is important to note that these results were boosted both in the first half of last year and this year by the income from two large contracts. The underlying sales in our traditional markets have actually fallen reflecting the difficult business environment which will have an impact on our results in the second half.

Gross profit margins have increased this year due to the margins achieved on a substantial one off contract, which was manufactured in-house, meaning that additional overhead recovery was achieved whilst fixed costs remained constant.

Trading

Our results have been sustained by the income from the large contract. The turnover and return from our traditional markets have been reduced due to two main factors - the erosion of margins through pressure from our customers, and the reduction in the volume and value of orders.

Your Company's management have followed a clearly defined strategy to reduce overheads and adjust our operational structure to respond to the current market requirements.

We have consolidated the sales offices, reducing the manpower whilst working to deliver a motivated sales force, with our representatives out in the field ably supported by an efficient administration and effective supply chain. Strengthening the management of our supply chain has been crucial for the continuous review of our cost base to achieve best margin, and for achieving best value in purchasing and so enhance our competitiveness and profitability.

Staff

As part of the overall strategy to reduce overheads it has been necessary to reduce staff costs. This has been achieved through a reduction in staff numbers and an adjustment to the hours worked each week. Some members of staff have been made redundant or applications for voluntary redundancy have been accepted at all levels of the business from the senior management to the sales administration and shop floor. Changes in procedure and process are resulting in improved efficiencies and productivity.

Whilst some of this work and associated costs were incurred in the period to June, the majority of the costs will accrue in the second half.

Following the completion of the one off contract during the first six months, the management and staff have agreed to the introduction of a thirty-four hour working week. This is a highly effective cost saving measure, however I would like to see us reverting to a thirty-seven and a half hour week as soon as possible. Staffing attendance is being co-ordinated at all sites to ensure optimum customer response.

The priorities are to retain jobs, skills and productivity.

Outlook

The overall economic environment is not inspiring. However this Company in its very long history has weathered previous economic storms, and the management and staff are working hard to bring our overheads in line with our underlying turnover, and capitalise on our heritage and our unique range of skills.

There are a number of exciting projects and rewarding sales initiatives in hand.

The redevelopment of the Great Queen Street site is nearly complete with a new tenant for the large ground floor and basement retail areas, and the refurbishment of the first and second floors that we are retaining for our own use. We will shortly be inviting customers to come and visit the new Toye Club Room, and our improved corporate sales offices.

Our sales team have been putting a great deal of energy into our sales campaigns overseas and have identified good opportunities in a number of market areas. We will continue to devote resources to improving this promising trend.

An under-lying seam of finished product sale with minimal administrative overhead is an important element for a stable financial foundation for the business, and we are improving our e-commerce provision and increasing our on-line sales. Our factory shop in Bedworth serving the local community is doing well.

These are tough times that have meant tough changes for the business. It is also a time of opportunity to deliver constructive changes that will re-equip and adapt the Company for the future. However I do not expect these improvements to have a material impact on the second half of the year.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements

   1.    Basis of preparation 

The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in the interim financial statement are consistent with those published in the Group's Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 and expected to apply in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The results for the six months ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011 have not been audited and do not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The abridged financial information for the year ended 31 December 2011 has been derived from the statutory accounts included in the Annual Report 2011, which were prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The auditor's report on these accounts was unqualified and did not contain statements under Section 498 (2) or Section 498 (3) of the Companies Act 2006 which deal respectively with the maintaining of proper accounting books and records and the availability of information to the auditors.

The Interim Report and Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 September 2012. A copy of the interim statement will be posted to shareholders and made available to the public at the Company's Registered Office, 19, 20 & 21 Great Queen Street, London and on the Company's website www.toye.com.
