PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE YEARED 31 DECEMBER 2016
Chairman's statement
______________________________________________________________
Introduction
I am pleased to present the results for the year ended 31
December 2016.
Results
Revenue increased to GBP38,414,000 for the year ended 31
December 2016 from GBP34,385,000 in the year ended 31 December
2015. This was an increase of 12%.
Operating profit after exceptional items and before finance
costs and taxation was GBP1,379,000 for the year ended 31 December
2016 compared to GBP1,287,000 for the year ended 31 December 2015,
an increase of 7%. Operating profit included a credit of GBP552,000
which was received from the vendors of the previously acquired Pro
Rider and ESC businesses to compensate for the additional import
duty costs on product imported prior to acquisition.
Non-underlying items, which do not represent the ongoing trading
performance of the Group, were a charge of GBP106,000 (year ended
31 December 2015 - GBP85,000).
Cash and cash equivalents increased from GBP878,000 to
GBP1,101,000 at 31 December 2016.
Net assets also increased during the year from GBP7,819,000 at
31 December 2015 to GBP8,214,000 at 31 December 2016.
Dividend
We are proposing to pay a final dividend of 2.60 pence per share
(year ended 31 December 2015 - 2.50 pence per share) which, when
combined with the interim dividend of 1.30 pence per share (year
ended 31 December 2015 - 1.25 pence per share), gives a total
dividend of 3.90 pence for the year (year ended 31 December 2015 -
3.75 pence per share).
Subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting to
be held on 22 June 2017, the final dividend will be paid on or
around 3 July 2017 to shareholders on the share register as at 19
May 2017. The ex-dividend date will be 18 May 2017.
Pensions
The Group operates two defined benefit pension schemes with both
schemes closed to new members. There are no active members in
either scheme. There was an increase in the deficit in both schemes
from GBP3,608,000 at 31 December 2015 to GBP4,215,000 at 31
December 2016. This reflected the low yields in Government gilts
which adversely impacted the discount rate used to calculate scheme
liabilities.
During the year to 31 December 2016 total payments in respect of
these schemes were GBP368,000 (year ended 31 December 2015 -
GBP403,000) comprising deficit contributions of GBP260,000 (year
ended 31 December 2015 - GBP256,000) and government levies and
administration costs of GBP108,000 (year ended 31 December 2015 -
GBP147,000).
Employees
The Board welcomes new employees who have joined our Northampton
business during the year and thanks all employees for their hard
work and dedication during the year.
Strategy
Our strategic objective continues to be to develop and enhance
our product ranges and seek to maintain our position as a leading
distributor to the UK sports, leisure, bicycle and toy markets and
online retailer in the leisure and mobility markets.
Import duty
During the year the vendors of both Pro Rider and ESC businesses
settled all liabilities prior to the acquisition date of both
businesses and in the case of Pro Rider to February 2016. In total,
GBP552,000 was received by the Group.
Outlook
In our sports, leisure and toys division, we have agreed several
new licences, most notably Cars 3, PJ Masks and Transformers. All
three licences have the potential to do well during the year.
The London Toy Fair exhibition was a great success and enabled
us to showcase the largest range of product that we have had for
many years. The feedback on certain categories was extremely
positive and we expect to reap the rewards of this throughout
2017.
We have once again secured the majority of the 2017 gazebo
business with a significant national retailer and continue to
identify new national customers and online marketplaces to sell our
ranges.
The newly launched direct to consumer retail websites continue
to show growth in traffic with more visitors and page views and we
expect this to continue as we increase our digital marketing
campaigns.
In our bicycles division we have launched a new range of
lightweight children's cycles under the 'Squish' brand. This was
exceptionally well received at our January trade show and we are
encouraged by the potential of these products.
In addition, we have launched an entry level range of value
cycles under our 'British Eagle' brand. This is targeted at the new
cyclist and provides opportunities for our dealer base to offer the
consumer a quality bicycle at an affordable price.
Following the expansion of the mobility range we believe we have
a very credible range of mobility products to satisfy a wide range
of budgets and we expect sales to increase in 2017.

Operating and Financial Review
Revenue and operating profit
Group revenue for the year ended 31 December 2016 was
GBP38,414,000, an increase of 12% compared to GBP34,385,000 in the
prior year.
As we reported in our trading update on 7 March, margin reduced
during the second half of the year as a result of sterling weakness
and increased import duty on some of our products. To compensate
for this we implemented a price increase in the latter part of the
year, negotiated better buying prices with suppliers and where this
could not be achieved, re-sourced to new factories. As a result of
these actions we expect to see an improvement in margin in
2017.
Operating expenses before non-underlying items were GBP8,744,000
in the year ended 31 December 2016 compared to GBP8,700,000 for the
year ended 31 December 2015, reflecting the increase in turnover.
Operating expenses are stated net of the GBP552,000 credit in
respect of the import duty receipts previously discussed.
Due to margin pressure and additional import duty costs,
operating profit before non-underlying items reduced to
GBP1,236,000 for the year ended 31 December 2016 compared to
GBP1,420,000 in the prior year.
Non-underlying items
Non-underlying items are material items which have arisen from
unusual non-recurring or non-trading events. For the year ended 31
December 2016 non-underlying items were GBP106,000 (year ended 31
December 2015 - GBP85,000) and comprised:
-- acquisition and moving expenses of GBPnil (year ended 31 December 2015 - GBP140,000);
Exceptional income GBP143,000 (year ended 31 December 2015 -
GBP7,000):
-- exceptional restructuring costs of GBP191,000 (year ended 31 December 2015 - GBP47,000);
-- the release of deferred consideration GBP334,000 in respect
of the Pro Rider and ESC acquisitions (year ended 31 December 2015
- GBP54,000).
Finance costs GBP258,000 (year ended 31 December 2015 -
GBP36,000):
-- a fair value charge adjustment for foreign currency
derivative contracts under IAS39 of GBP129,000 (year ended 31
December 2015 - GBP104,000 credit);
-- pension finance costs under IAS19 of GBP129,000 (year ended 31 December 2015 - GBP140,000).
Tax credit GBP9,000 (year ended 31 December 2015 -
GBP84,000):
-- a deferred tax credit of GBP9,000 (year ended 31 December
2015 - GBP84,000) in respect of IAS39, IAS19 and share options.
Finance costs
Total net finance costs for the year ended 31 December 2016 were
GBP465,000 compared to GBP242,000 for the year ended 31 December
2015.
Interest payable on bank loans, overdrafts, hire purchase and
invoice finance facilities was GBP207,000 compared to GBP206,000 in
the prior year. Finance costs in respect of the pension schemes
provided in accordance with IAS19 were GBP129,000 compared to
GBP140,000 for year ended 31 December 2015. There was a fair value
charge of GBP129,000 in respect of derivative foreign exchange
contracts against a credit of GBP104,000 in the prior year. This
was calculated in accordance with IAS39. The net cost of pension
schemes' finance costs and derivatives of GBP258,000 (year ended 31
December 2015 - GBP36,000) is included in non-underlying items.
Taxation
The tax expense for the year ended 31 December 2016 was
GBP137,000 which compared to GBP44,000 last year.
There was an increase in current tax from GBP73,000 in the prior
year to GBP173,000 for the year ended 31 December 2016. This
comprised corporation tax from the overseas Hong Kong
operation.
Deferred tax income of GBP36,000 comprised tax in respect of
movements in trading losses and pension schemes' liabilities and
compared to GBP29,000 in the prior year.
Net profit
Net profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 after
non-underlying items, finance costs and taxation was GBP777,000
compared to GBP1,001,000 for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Capital expenditure
Capital additions for the year totalled GBP103,000 (year ended
31 December 2015 - GBP171,000) which included the upgrade of the
Castle Bromwich security systems and additional racking of the
Northampton warehouse.
Cash flows, working capital and net debt
Net cash inflow from operating activities before movements in
working capital for the year ended 31 December 2016 was GBP693,000
compared to GBP1,254,000 in the prior year.
Total cash generated from operations was GBP1,800,000 compared
to GBP1,711,000 last year.
Net cash outflows from investing activities were GBP130,000 in
the year ended 31 December 2016 against GBP2,512,000 in the
previous year.
There was a net cash outflow from financing activities of
GBP1,275,000 in the year ended 31 December 2016 which compared to a
net cash inflow of GBP51,000 in the year ended 31 December
2015.
Net debt, comprising cash and cash equivalents, invoice
financing liabilities and borrowings, was GBP4,197,000 at 31
December 2016 compared to GBP5,650,000 at 31 December 2015.
Dividends
Total dividends paid and proposed for the year ended 31 December
2016 increased to 3.90 pence per share compared to 3.75 pence per
share for the year ended 31 December 2015, an increase of 4%. The
dividend cover ratio was 4.1 (year ended 31 December 2015 - 5.7).
It continues to be the Group's policy to progressively increase the
dividend payment to shareholders where trading performance
permits.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share was 16.0 pence per share for the year
ended 31 December 2016 compared to 21.3 pence per share in the year
ended 31 December 2015. Diluted earnings per share was 15.7 pence
per share compared to 20.3 pence per share in the prior year.
Sports, leisure and toys
There was an increase in revenue for the year ended 31 December
2016 in the sports, leisure and toys businesses of approximately
43%. This included a full year's contribution from the ESC
business.
A number of licences performed very strongly including Batman,
Disney Princess, My Little Pony, Paw Patrol, Shopkins and Trolls.
Our 'evergreen' licences such as Peppa Pig, Star Wars and Thomas
& Friends also made substantial contributions.
Our own brands, particularly Kickmaster and Hedstrom, also
performed well and were ahead of the previous year. We have been
very pleased with the contribution from our portfolio of 'Airwave'
gazebos and party tents and also by our 'Jack Stonehouse' radiator
cover range. Revenue exceeded the prior year and we continued to
expand our product offering.
We also experienced growth in our Ben Sayers golf business with
both package sets and electric golf trolleys showing good
growth.
Operating profit after corporate charges for the year ended 31
December 2016 for sports, leisure and toys was GBP1,538,000
compared to GBP788,000 in the prior year.
Bicycles and mobility
Revenue was approximately 26% behind the prior year. Both
corporate and independent bicycle businesses encountered difficult
trading conditions.
Unlike the prior year, there was no significant promotional
contract in our corporate bicycles division and revenue reduced as
a result. We continue to seek opportunities for future promotional
business where it is possible to make an acceptable margin.
In our independent cycles businesses there was a continued
downturn reflecting the overall trend in the UK leisure cycling
market. Having been aware of and having reported challenging market
conditions previously we made some significant changes during the
second half of the year. The Claud Butler and Dawes sales teams
were merged together with one team selling both brands. We have
rationalised the product development department and improved
efficiencies within our Scunthorpe premises where all Claud Butler
and Dawes products are now warehoused together. As a result of
these changes we expect to save approximately GBP1.0 million of
overhead costs in the bicycles businesses in 2017.
Our Pro Rider mobility business continued to make a valuable
contribution. During the period we extended our product offering
and signed distribution agreements with three well known mobility
brands to supplement our own range.
However, as a result of the decline in revenue and the
challenging market environment there was a loss in the bicycles and
mobility division after corporate charges of GBP239,000 (year ended
31 December 2015 - GBP564,000 profit).

Notes to the preliminary results
_____________________________________________________________
1. General information
The financial information set out in this preliminary
announcement does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in
section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The Consolidated income
statement, the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the
Consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2016, the Consolidated
statement of changes in equity, the Consolidated cash flow
statement and the associated notes for the period then ended have
been extracted from the Group's financial statements upon which the
auditor's opinion is unqualified and does not include any statement
under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006. The statutory accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2016 will be delivered to the
Registrar of Companies following the Group's Annual General
Meeting.
2. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been
prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance
with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the EU. The principal accounting policies adopted by the
Group, which remain unchanged, are set out in the statutory
financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Non-underlying items
Non-underlying items are material items which arise from unusual
non-recurring or non-trading events. They are disclosed in
aggregate on the Consolidated income statement where in the opinion
of the Directors such disclosure is necessary in order to fairly
present the results for the period. Non-underlying items comprise
one off acquisition costs, non-recurring relocation costs,
exceptional costs of Group restructuring, the finance cost related
to the Group's pension schemes calculated in accordance with IAS19,
the impact of the movement in respect of derivative foreign
exchange contracts held at fair value through the profit and loss
in accordance with IAS39 and the release of the over provision in
respect of contingent consideration.
Key areas of estimation uncertainty
Impairment of goodwill
The annual impairment assessment in respect of goodwill requires
estimates of the value in use of cash generating units to which
goodwill has been allocated to be calculated. As a result,
estimates of future cash flows are required, together with an
appropriate discount factor for the purpose of determining the
present value of those cash flows.
Financial instruments valuation
Forward contracts and options are used to minimise the impact of
foreign exchange fluctuations on the group. An asset or liability
is recognised representing the fair value of the instruments in
place at the year end. The fair value is calculated using certain
estimates and valuation models by reference to significant inputs
including; implied volatilities in foreign currency and historical
movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the fair
value of the instruments are recognised in profit or loss in the
income statement.
Pension scheme valuation
The liabilities in respect of defined benefit pension schemes
are calculated by qualified actuaries and reviewed by the Group,
but are necessarily based on subjective assumptions. The principal
uncertainties relate to the estimation of the discount rate, life
expectancies of scheme members, future investment yields and
general market conditions for factors such as inflation and
interest rates. Profits and losses in relation to changes in
actuarial assumptions are taken directly to reserves and therefore
do not impact on the profitability of the business, but the changes
do impact on net assets.
Inventory provisioning
The Group reviews the net realisable value of and demand for its
inventory on an ongoing basis to ensure recorded inventory is
stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Factors that
could impact estimated demand and selling prices are the timing and
success of future technological innovations, competitor actions,
suppliers' prices and economic trends. If total inventory losses
differ, the Group's consolidated net income in the year would have
improved or declined, depending upon whether the actual results
were better or worse than expected.
Bad debt provision
At each reporting period, the Directors review outstanding debts
and determine appropriate provision levels. The recovery of certain
debts is dependent on the individual circumstances of customers. At
the year end there are a number of debts which remain outstanding
past their due date, which the Directors believe to be
recoverable.
Intangible asset valuation
In attributing value to intangible assets arising on
acquisition, management has made certain assumptions in terms of
cash flows attributable to intellectual property and customer
relationships. The key assumptions relate to the trading
performance of the acquired business, royalty rates applied in the
royalty relief calculation and discount rates applied to calculate
the present value of future cash flows. The Directors consider the
resulting valuation to be a reasonable approximation as to the
value of the intangibles acquired.
Key judgements
Deferred tax assets
In determining the deferred tax asset to be recognised the
Directors carefully review the recoverability of these assets on a
prudent basis and reach a judgement based on the best available
information. Estimates and judgements used in the financial
statements are based on historical experience and other assumptions
that the Directors and management consider reasonable and are
consistent with the Group's latest budgeted forecasts where
applicable. Judgements are based on the information available at
each balance sheet date. Although these estimates are based on the
best information available to the Directors, actual results may
ultimately differ from those estimates.
Pension deficit
In accordance with the winding up provisions of the Trust deeds
the Directors have concluded that the Group has a discretionary
right to receive returns of contributions if the schemes were to be
in surplus. Accordingly any excess funding has not been recognised
on the balance sheet.
3. Segmental reporting
For management purposes the Group is organised into two
operating segments. The revenues, results and net assets for these
segments are shown below:
