The Directors do not propose the payment of an interim dividend. 2. The earnings per ordinary share has been calculated on profit on ordinary activities after taxation (and minority interests) of £848,000 (October 2000: £444,000) and by reference to the 7,200,000 ordinary shares in issue throughout both years. The company has no share options or other diluting instruments and accordingly there is no diluted earnings per share. 3. The comparative figures for the financial year ended 30 April 2001 are not the Company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Company's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985. Comments The half year results show a twenty five per cent increase in turnover and an improved profit compared to the previous half year, reflecting greater activity within the power and energy sectors to 11 September. Demand for the more efficient energy plant for which the Group supplies components is expected to continue, although some short term cutbacks have been seen since September.
