CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The pre-tax profit for the Group for the twelve month period ending 30th April, 2017, was GBP9.24 million (2016: GBP12.3 million), a decrease of 24.9% on a revenue of GBP132 million (2016: GBP124 million) which is 6% up on the figures reported for the same period in the last financial year. The Directors propose an unchanged ordinary dividend of 42.348p (2016: 42.348p). The gross margins have reduced again this year due to the continued tightening in market prices for products we sell to the oil, gas and mining industries where capital expenditure has been massively reduced due to the substantially low commodity revenues of the companies associated with the products they sell.
