together with new business gains, stabilised costs and minimal capital 
expenditure has enabled the Group to exceed its earlier internal forecasts.  The 
UK business, Hardide Coatings Limited, has achieved its first full year of 
profitability and the Group was EBITDA positive in the second half of the year. 
 
"Whilst Hardide's reliance on a few major customers is reducing, the directors 
remain cautious and continue to control costs and manage cash carefully.  We are 
optimistic that we should be able to meet our internal expectations for the 
current financial year, which envisage further improvements in trading."

Notes to editors: 
Hardide manufactures and applies tungsten carbide-based coatings to a wide range 
of engineering components.  The Group's patented technology provides a unique 
combination of ultra-hardness, toughness, low friction and chemical resistance 
in one coating.  When applied to components, the technology is proven to offer 
dramatic cost savings through reduced downtime and extended part life. 
Customers include leading companies operating in oil and gas exploration and 
production, valve and pump manufacturing, general engineering and aerospace. 
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
I am pleased to report an improved performance by Hardide plc in a year that 
continued to present considerable challenges.  The resumption in demand from key 
customers together with new business, reduced costs and minimal capital 
expenditure has enabled the Group to exceed management forecasts across all of 
our financial metrics. 
 
Full year sales to 30 September 2010 rose 44% to GBP1.74 million from GBP1.21 
million in 2009.  Group EBITDA loss decreased 87% to GBP141k (2009: loss GBP1.12 
million) with the Group EBITDA positive in the second half of the year.  Group 
PBT for the year narrowed to a loss before tax and exceptional items of GBP381k, 
a 74% reduction from a loss of GBP1.46 million in 2009. 
 
There has been a general recovery in demand from those of our customers who 
service the oil and gas drilling tool and flow control markets, with H2 2010 
being markedly stronger than H1 2010.  Customer restocking that was in evidence 
during H1 2010 has stabilised and been replaced with broadly consistent demand. 
To assist the forecasting of potential future destocking situations, the board 
is continually monitoring various indicators to help predict sudden fluctuations 
in demand. 
 
The improvement in demand in key sectors has been supported by a stabilised cost 
base, ongoing operational efficiencies and negligible capital expenditure. The 
full year effect of last year's restructuring and cost reduction programme 
together with further savings has led to a 30% reduction in overheads compared 
with 2009. Strong revenue growth coupled with tight control on costs and capex 
has led to a reduction in our cash outflow compared with 2009. The Group's 
ability to grow within its current markets was not restricted by these controls. 
 
It is pleasing to report that Hardide Coatings Limited achieved its first full 
year of profitability with a pre-tax profit of GBP378k compared with a loss last 
year of GBP324k.  The UK business has demonstrated that it can be profitable at 
the current, stabilised cost base.  We are beginning to build a more diversified 
customer base, with new customers won across all key sectors and new products 
coming to market, such as Hardide-A for hard chrome replacement and a coating 
for titanium. Our strategic development projects of coatings for aerospace and 
industrial diamonds are also progressing steadily. 
 
The Houston facility remains hibernated with all plant and equipment in-situ. 
This will remain so until demand is such that it is economically viable to 
resume manufacturing in the US.  The building has been sub-let on terms that 
will enable a managed re-entry; although further expenditure would be required 
for the facility to operate profitably as an independent business. 
 
The US hibernation contributed significantly to a 24% reduction in the cost of 
sales on the 44% increased turnover fulfilled wholly from the UK.  Volume 
through Houston was such that it had always operated sub-optimally, and greater 
economies of scale are now being achieved by servicing all US business from the 
UK. The US is a very important market for the growth of the Group and business 
development continues apace with notable account gains and test programmes with 
US based customers across all of our key sectors.  The Group is committed to 
re-opening the US operation when it is commercially and economically prudent to 
do so. 
 
In line with the new edition of the UK Corporate Governance Code, the board has 
tightened and streamlined several aspects of its operation, without any increase 
in bureaucracy or impediment to decision making. The board also established 
intellectual property and risk management sub-committees to manage these key 
aspects of the Group's business. 
 
On the whole, the board is pleased with the results for the year.  Whilst the 
economic climate overall has not yet materially improved in all the sectors in 
which the Group operates, there are indications that demand will continue to 
return and then grow in these areas.  Meanwhile, the business has clear 
strategic goals, is operationally and financially fitter, and sharply focused on 
profitable revenue growth.  The board is optimistic in its outlook for the 
coming year. 
 
Over the past year, the company has had loyal support from its staff and 
constructive interest from a number of key shareholders.  The board owes its 
sincere thanks to both. 
 
Finally, Hugh Smith, our longest serving non-executive director has decided to 
step down from the board at the next AGM.  We are all enormously grateful to 
Hugh for his unstinting and constructive work on behalf of the company, 
particularly on the two main board sub-committees.  Hugh remains an avid 
supporter of Hardide and intends to retain his shareholding for the foreseeable 
future.  We shall miss Hugh's wise counsel but wish him and his family well and 
hope to see him at future AGMs. 
 
Replacing Hugh as a non-executive director and member of both the audit 
committee and the combined remuneration and nomination committee will be Bruce 
Robinson (50).  Bruce brings extensive experience of growing technology-based 
businesses and of the international oil and gas industry.  He spent his early 
career as an engineer in oilfield services before becoming a founder shareholder 
and General Manager of Phoenix Petroleum Services, an engineering product and 
service company that was sold to Schlumberger.  He has since started, run and 
assisted a wide range of innovative companies developing and exploiting 
technologies in various industry sectors.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REVIEW 
As we entered the 2010 financial year there was still a high level of 
uncertainty about the economy and the effect it would continue to have on our 
business.  We had begun to see signs of stability returning to key customers' 
markets but there was little visibility of the timing and level of recovery. 
Towards the end of the half year we began to see a consistently upward trend in 
demand, particularly from oil and gas, and then valve and other general 
industrial customers. At that point it was difficult to distinguish sustainable 
demand from the effects of restocking. However, the second half of the year saw 
a meaningful return of demand together with new customer gains.  I am pleased to 
report that this, together with cost and capex controls, has resulted in the 
first full year of profitability for the UK operating company and the first half 
year of positive EBITDA for the Group. 
 
In spite of the turbulence over the last 18 months, we have retained experienced 
people across all parts of the business and this has enabled us to increase 
activity seamlessly as demand has resumed.  The engineering, operations and 
technical teams have worked on process improvements, loading capacities and 
coating methodologies, which all supported the move to profitability for the UK 
business. 
 
UK: Hardide Coatings Limited 
 
The UK operating company, Hardide Coatings Limited, has achieved full year 
profitability for the first time with PBT of GBP378k (2009: loss GBP324k) on 
revenue of GBP1.74 million (2009: GBP1.09 million).  Sales to oil and gas, valve 
and general industrial customers were all higher than in 2009.  Gas costs rose 
significantly during the year but were absorbed without affecting gross margin. 
 
The UK facility is processing all sales from the US with no detrimental effect 
on lead time.  We have gained new customers in the US during the year and since 
year-end have contracted an experienced and well-connected representative in the 
US to pursue new business. 
 
We were proud to achieve AS9100 quality system approval in February 2010. 
AS9100 demonstrates the presence of a robust and consistent aerospace quality 
system and augments the ISO9001 standard by focusing on the more rigorous 
requirements of the aerospace industry.  Many original equipment manufacturers 
will only work with AS9100-registered suppliers and this accreditation 
demonstrates our commitment to quality and to the aerospace industry. 
 
In July 2010, Robin Gillham joined the management team as Business Development 
Manager focusing on flow control. Robin returned to Hardide having previously 
worked for the company for four years to 2008 as Sales Manager. He is a valuable 
addition to the management team having almost 20 years of engineering and 
technical sales experience and a thorough understanding of the Hardide 
technology. 
 
Throughout the year, the engineering team and assembly department has steadily 
improved production efficiency.  One innovation is the design of small chambers 
that work within the main coating bell but use less consumable material, thereby 
enabling more efficient coating of smaller batches or smaller parts.  The team 
has also been looking at ways of coating longer, internal surfaces. Success here 
will open up further opportunities in new and existing markets. 
 
Across the company, a greater emphasis is being placed on enhancing personal 
performance and KPIs are being drawn up for all functions. 
 
All health, safety and environmental matters are important to the Group and we 
recorded no lost time incidents during the year. 
 
Markets 
The management team, supported by the board, completed an in-depth strategic 
review of markets and applications for the Hardide technology in H1 2010.  The 
process resulted in a comprehensive plan to create a profitable and diversified 
business.  Throughout the year, progress has been made with diversifying our 
customer base.  We are pleased to have secured business with several significant 
flow control, and oil and gas industry customers.  We are particularly excited 
about the launch of a new Hardide-coated application by a major US valve 
manufacturer. The customer's product line has proven successful and is set to 
expand in 2011 with a second line under development.  In Europe, another 
Hardide-coated application has been developed for a major valve manufacturer 
requiring a hard-wearing, low-friction coating for subsea deployment.  One of 
the issues that we continue to face is the reluctance of our customers to allow 
us to disclose their names or their use of the coating.  We understand that this 
is due to the high value that they place on the competitive advantage that the 
coating provides. 
 
Technology, Research & Development 
Headed by Dr Yuri Zhuk, Technical Director, the technical team has made a strong 
contribution to our diversification strategy over the year providing valuable 
analysis of the viability of potential applications and leading test programmes 
for several significant new applications.  These have included new types of 
pumps, equipment for plastics extrusion, Formula 1 automotive parts and mud 
motors for the oil and gas industry. 
 
Tests were also carried out to provide additional information on the bond 
strength, porosity and fatigue performance of the coatings.  Independent 
comparative tests were made of Hardide-A and two other coatings as replacement 
materials for hard chrome plating; a material widely used in aerospace 
manufacturing and which is being phased out for environmental reasons.  The 
results of all the tests have been positive, with the Hardide coatings 
demonstrating that they are unique in the level and combination of valuable 
properties that they provide. 
 
An IP sub-committee was formed to optimise the Hardide IP protection within 
reasonable cost parameters.  Several national patents, which are not expected to 
be used, were abandoned, which also resulted in cost savings.  In addition to 
cost rationalisation, this committee also considers how the IPR portfolio should 
be protected and makes recommendations to the board accordingly. 
 
Both the aerospace and diamond coating projects continue to make steady progress 
with our customer partners. 
 
Staff 
Our staff have been extremely supportive and hard working over the past two 
difficult years.  Most of them have not received a salary increase but, as a 
result of better than expected results, I am delighted that we have been able to 
award a modest bonus to all employees who have been with us over the course of 
the last year. 
 
Outlook 
At this early stage of the 2010/11 year, we are encouraged by the improving 
conditions in our customers' core markets.  However economic uncertainties 
remain and our target is to improve on 2009/10 performance and show strong 
revenue growth and positive cash generation.  We have a good development 
pipeline and our strategic projects are progressing to plan.  All projects under 
development have been benchmarked against our strategic goals and pre-qualified. 
 This helps provide confidence that a good proportion will be converted to 
sales.  Furthermore, our more diverse customer base means that we are becoming 
less vulnerable to a downturn in demand from one customer or in one sector. 
These factors support the view that we can meet our expectations for a further 
improvement in trading over the coming year. 
 
Our employees, customers and shareholders continue to demonstrate their 
confidence in the technology and the business and I thank them for their 
commitment.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 
 
The first quarter of the year started quietly as Hardide continued to feel the 
effects of reduced demand and inventory cuts by our customers which hit the 
Group so savagely in 2008/09.  However there were early signs of growth as small 
orders started being placed, and revenue has improved quarter on quarter through 
to the end of the year. 
 
While much of the revenue growth came from UK and European customers, there was 
also growth from US customers whose processing was successfully absorbed into 
the UK operation upon the hibernation of our Houston facility.  The 44% increase 
in revenue was achieved within the structure implemented in 2009.  However, we 
did take the opportunity in the second half of the year to strengthen specific 
areas of the company, notably technical and sales.  The UK operation was hit by 
some increases in raw material costs during the second half, however gross 
margins were maintained as these were offset by economies of scale.  The cost 
increases should be partially mitigated going forward as new supply contracts 
kick in. 
 
The effect of increased revenues and a stable cost structure meant that the 
Group's loss after tax fell from GBP1,789k in 2009 to GBP474k in 2010, and 
EBITDA loss fell from GBP1,122k in 2009 to GBP141k in 2010. 
 
The UK operation, Hardide Coatings Limited, recorded a pre-tax profit of GBP378k 
against a loss of GBP324k last year.  Costs of our US subsidiary Hardide 
Coatings Inc amounted to GBP191k (2009: GBP834k) before including a further 
impairment charge of GBP126k against the fixed assets there.  The decision was 
taken in May 2010 to sublease the facility in Houston, however all our equipment 
remains securely stored there and will be able to be reinstated quickly. 
Further cost reductions should be realised in the current year.  Hardide plc 
recorded a loss of GBP535k on a consolidated basis (2009: GBP267k loss) before 
accounting for a provision against the intercompany loan with Hardide Coatings 
Inc of GBP300k.  The increased loss is due to reduced credits for exchange 
differences of GBP66k (2009: GBP377k), if these are stripped out the costs of 
plc fell from GBP643k in 2009 to GBP601k. 
 
As a result of rising revenues and the actions taken on costs last year, cash 
outflow from operating activities fell to GBP264k from GBP1,358k in 2009.  Cash 
balance at the year end was GBP536k (2009: GBP932k). 
 
These results demonstrate that the Group, by taking the actions that it did in 
2009, has successfully reduced its cost base without impairing its ability to 
deal with significant increases in revenue.

The financial information set out in this preliminary announcement does not 
constitute statutory accounts as defined in Section 435 of the Companies Act 
2006. 
 
The consolidated statement of financial position at 30 September 2010, and the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of 
cash flows for the year then ended have been extracted from the Group's 2010 
statutory financial statements upon which the auditors have reported.  The 
auditor's report is unqualified and does not include any statement under 
Sections 498 (2) (accounting records or returns inadequate or accounts not 
agreeing with records) or 498 (3) (failure to obtain necessary information and 
explanations) of the Companies Act 2006.  Those financial statements have not 
yet been delivered to the 
Registrar of Companies. 
 
The auditors have made a matter of emphasis in their audit report relating to 
uncertainty regarding going concern should the Group not fulfil its current plan 
for revenues, costs and cashflows.  These matters indicate the existence of a 
material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability 
to continue as a going concern.
