Extracts from the Strategic Report
RESULTS
Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2013 amounted to
GBP6,466,927 compared to GBP8,936,996 for the previous year. As
previously reported the prior year included significant contracts
that did not recur in 2013. There was an operating profit of
GBP520,705 in 2012. Because of the decreased turnover in 2013 there
was an operating loss of GBP679,932 before sale of the Great Queen
Street property.
During December 2013 the Board and management began the
implementation of our long-term strategic plan for improving the
operational performance of the Group. Redundancy costs of
GBP172,397 have been included in the 2013 figures which have
adversely affected our trading results.
Investment has been made in sales expertise and initiatives
which might not generate profit until late 2014 and beyond.
The Group has made a profit of GBP942,078 before and after tax.
The key contributor to this result was the disposal of the Great
Queen Street site. The profit on this transaction was
GBP1,603,480.
Our earnings per share for the year therefore increased from
20.19p in 2012 to 41.91p.
SALE OF GREAT QUEEN STREET
On 28 January 2013 the Company entered into an unconditional
loan facility agreement, legal charge, and sale agreement to
dispose of its leasehold property at 19-21 Great Queen Street ("the
Property") to Stability Investments Limited for a consideration of
at least GBP2.75 million. At 28 January 2013, the date of sale, the
Property had a carrying value of GBP942,984.
Subject to certain conditions being met, the Company may be
entitled to additional consideration of GBP500,000 and a share of
any ultimate development profit relating to the property. At the
time of preparing these accounts the Company did not have evidence
to support that the conditions would be met. The Directors
therefore have no alternative other than to consider that the
receipt of the additional consideration is very unlikely and as
such no allowance has been made in these accounts for any
additional consideration.
Under the terms of the agreement, two representatives of
Stability Investments Limited, Robin Edwards and Robert Luck, have
been appointed as Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
Full details of the transaction can be found in note 25 on page
40 of the annual report.
TRADING CONDITIONS
The economic recession shows signs of ebbing. There was some
positive news in the last UK budget and there is cautious
confidence in the financial press. However the reality is that
average wages and salaries have not increased and investment
returns are low. The retail market is a good indicator of recovery,
and though improved it is hardly booming.
We have global competition in all our markets, and our long
heritage, British manufacturing base and Royal Warrant are
effective advantages as we compete for a larger share of the
business. Success will depend on our ability to exploit our
advantages, manage our operating costs and expand our
capabilities.
MANAGEMENT AND STAFF
Mr N K S Wills retired as a non-executive of the Company with
effect from 31 December 2013. Nicholas has been a valuable and long
serving member of the Board since his appointment in 1996. We wish
him well.
During the year we have with regret made further redundancies
throughout all tiers of the business including senior
management.
We have retained all our essential trade skills, and through
training and new recruits we are enhancing our abilities and
capabilities in production, purchasing and sales.
We continue to work a 34 hour week, with sales and
administration working flexible hours to cover customer services.
Surges in requirement for production are effectively handled by
overtime work and the use of outworkers and ancillary
businesses.
Facilities
Our operational facilities in the Midlands are unique not only
in what they do, but in their strong ties to their locations. All
our skilled staff live locally to the sites, and there is an
irreplaceable network of outworkers and small ancillary businesses
that support our production. A London office and Showroom is
essential for the sales Divisions. Our Design Studio is based in
the Birmingham factory, and some marketing services are
out-sourced.
PROGRESS AND OUTLOOK
2013 has been a year of planning and transition. The tough
trading conditions of the last few years have concentrated the
minds of the Board and management on reconfiguring the Company for
the next one hundred years.
Difficult decisions have had to be made concerning personnel,
and Great Queen Street. It is essential that we maintain our
presence in London, and we will be established in a new central
location in 2015.
The key objectives of the Strategic Plan have already been
outlined in this report. The management are implementing the new
Divisional structure which will improve accountability, and focus
the Divisional team members on driving their sector of the business
for optimum performance and profit.
To reflect our streamlined operational structure we are
reviewing the presentation and marketing of our Brand to make it
clear to customers and potential customers what we can do for them,
and make it easy for them to buy from us.
We are enhancing our traditional skills with the latest
technological aides for design and engineering that will allow us
to achieve a consistency in execution and delivery of beautifully
crafted product designed and made in England.
The Strategic Report was approved by the Board on 15 May 2014

1. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements from which this financial information
is extracted 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 statements.
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.

8. Sale of leasehold land and
buildings
On 28 January 2013 the Company entered into an unconditional loan
facility agreement, legal charge, and sale agreement to dispose of
its leasehold property at 19-21 Great Queen Street ("the Property")
to Stability Investments Limited for a consideration of at least
GBP2.75 million. At 28 January 2013, the date of sale, the Property
had a carrying value of GBP942,984.
Subject to certain conditions being met, the Company may be entitled
to additional consideration of GBP500,000 and a share of any ultimate
development profit relating to the property. At the time of preparing
these accounts the Company did not have evidence to support that
the conditions would be met. The Directors therefore have no alternative
other than to consider that the receipt of the additional consideration
is very unlikely and as such no allowance has been made in these
accounts for the additional considerations.
Loan Facility Agreement and Legal Charge
The loan facility agreement provides that Stability Investments Limited
advances to the Company an amount of up to GBP2.5 million. This advance
is secured by a legal charge and all other outstanding charges over
the Company's interest in the Property have been redeemed.
Of the advance, GBP2,000,000 was paid to the Company on 28 January
2013. A further GBP500,000 will be released to the Company, on agreement
of and in line with the business plan and the remaining GBP250,000
on 28 July 2014 or completion of the sale if earlier.
GBP2,000,000 of the advance has been applied by the Company to repay
in full the indebtedness of the Group to Lloyds Bank plc and to meet
the working capital requirements of the Group.
The advance attracts compound interest at a rate of 3.75 per cent
above the Bank of England base rate.
Under the terms of the loan facility agreement, two representatives
of Stability Investments Limited, Robin Edwards and Robert Luck,
have been appointed as Non-Executive Directors of the Company.
Sale Agreement
The sale agreement provides that Stability Investments Limited shall
complete the transaction on or before 28 July 2014. The purchase
price is payable on completion of the transfer of the Company's interest
in the Property, which is then applied to repay in full amounts advanced
under the loan facility agreement, and accrued interest. The Company's
entitlement to such additional consideration and/or to any share
of development profit is contingent upon certain future events occurring
which, if they occur, will be payable at future dates which cannot
yet be determined.
The financial information, which has been prepared on the same basis
as set out in the 2012 Annual Accounts, does not constitute statutory
