In our AGM statement we noted that growth in our Protection and Defence business had been slower than we anticipated and that the Company was expecting confirmation of the multi-year contract for the new M50 US military respirator in the very near future. The regulatory and administrative processes undertake by the US Government for contracts of this value and duration have taken much longer than previously projected.
AGM Statement
At the Annual General Meeting to be held today the Chairman, The Rt. Hon. Sir Richard Needham, will make the following statement to shareholders: “At the time of our preliminary statement at the end of November 2007, we said that the Group had reached a number of significant milestones. We had announced that the full rate production decision had been made on our new military respirator and that we had received NFPA certification for our new self-contained breathing apparatus product, manufactured at ISI in Georgia.

Unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2008
Commenting on the results, Peter Slabbert, Chief Executive said: “The award of the $112 million, multi-year contract by the US Government should underpin the Group’s return to profitability in the short term and secure a long-term and growing revenue stream for our Protection business. Our immediate priority is on increasing our profits through manufacturing efficiencies and cost reductions and converting significant opportunities for sales of our market leading range of respiratory protection products around the world.
Hood Debate
Local MPs Michael Ancram and Andrew Murrison slammed the Home Office and the Police in a House of Commons debate over failure to honour the Office of Government Contracting's Emergency Hood Contract with Avon Rubber at Melksham.
Preliminary results for the year ended 30 September 2007
Commenting on the results, Terry Stead, Chief Executive said: “Since the interimannouncement, the Group has reached a number of significant milestones. The second half of 2007 has shown improvement over the first half. With the approval of the new product at Avon-ISI and once the full rate production starts at our Cadillac facility, we expect this to continue. The Board is confident that this, together with continued investment in new product development, will lead to a period of sustainable and profitable growth for the Group.”

Gammadot Rheology and ARTIS, (the commercialised research arm of Avon Rubber p.l.c), are investigating potential projects & services the two companies can co-operatively offer to the polymer industry. Martyn Bennett, ARTIS’ Chief Scientist, commented, "a partner with complimentary rheological skills in the thermoplastics sector will allow us to expand the services we can offer to our clients and we are looking forward to working with Gammadot".
Trading Update August 2008
In the interim results announced on 28 May 2008, the Company stated that the award of the multiyear respirator contract by the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the expectation of securing long-term contracts for the Engineered Fabrications business, should underpin the Group’s return to profitability in the short-term. It was further explained that difficulties had been experienced in the production of filters for the M50 respirator, which had led to delays and cost overruns.

In January we announced that we were commencing the closure of our UK mixing facility, a process which we were pursuing at the time of the announcement of the interim results in May. We are now pleased to announce that the Group has completed the sale of certain of its mixing facility assets to ATR Compounding Limited for a consideration of £2.05 million, payable in cash. The proceeds will be used to reduce current borrowings.
Preliminary results for year ended 30 September 2008
Peter Slabbert, Chief Executive commented: “Our Dairy business remains successful, while the 10 year US Government M50 respirator programme, awarded in 2008, will provide strong and consistent future sales volumes contributing to a return to profitability in our Protection & Defence business. In the current difficult credit markets the agreement of facilities with our bankers to 30 June 2010 gives the Group a stable platform from which to capitalise on the opportunities available to it in its chosen markets.”
AGM and Interim Statement
