CHIEF EXECUTIVE REVIEW

 

Financial Results

I am pleased to report that the Group has produced record results for the year ended 31 May 2012, achieving its highest ever levels of revenue and profit. The Group has continued to focus on controlling costs and maximising efficiencies and has delivered these results despite another challenging year for the global economy in general and also the financial markets.

 

Total revenue for the year rose 21 per cent to £2.31m (FY11: £1.91m) with profit before tax more than doubling to £436,000 (FY11: £202,000). 1pm has now made profit month-on-month since July 2010. Earnings per share also increased by more than double to 0.0104p (FY11: 0.0048p).

 

The Group has again been able to fund a proportion of its new lending from its own receivables, which has helped to further strengthen the balance sheet with net assets at the year-end up to £3.96m (FY11: £3.53m), which is an increase of 233 per cent since the initial flotation in 2006.

 

The current lease portfolio which has increased by 8.9 per cent to £11.0m (FY11: £10.1m) has an average loan value of £6.9k (FY11: £7.3k) with no single customer representing more than 0.5 per cent of the total portfolio value.

 

Bad and written off debt fell again during the year and is down to £0.18m (FY11: £0.19m) or less than 1.7 per cent of the lease portfolio value at the year-end. 1pm now handles most of the recovery aspects of these defaulted debts in-house and this has reduced recovery costs by 26.6 per cent to £69k (FY11: £94k) over the past 12 months.  The underwriting of customers and the collection of defaulted debt continues to be monitored very closely and is reviewed and amended where necessary on a regular basis.

 

Operations and Business Development

New business written during the year amounted to £4.96m (FY11: £6.1m). This reduction in new business compared to the previous year was in large part caused by a marked slowdown in the market between January and March of this year, coinciding as it did with increased uncertainty over the future of the Eurozone and concerns over the content of the March Budget. However, sales recovered strongly in the last two months of the year culminating in record new business in May of £700k.

 

This upturn in sales was helped by a number of new marketing initiatives introduced during the second half of the year. These included an increase in our maximum individual lend advance from £30,000 to £50,000, expanding the range of assets we are willing to finance and the promotion of the business to new leasing brokers in Northern Ireland. The Board believes that the positive trading momentum experienced in the last quarter can be maintained in the current year. 

 

We continue to market to the whole of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and specifically target areas where our customer base is low. To this end, the Group has formed relationships with a further 15 new leasing brokers during the year. 1pm is now in partnership with over 50 leasing brokers and sees the development of these relationships as a key driver for growth.  However, whilst the Board is seeking to accelerate sales over the next 12 months, it will not compromise the quality of the lease portfolio by taking on undue risk.

 

During the financial year, the Group moved to larger premises [in Bath] and should have sufficient capacity to manage its targeted growth.  1pm has also upgraded its website during the year (www.1pm.co.uk).

 

Staff 

The Board would like to put on record their appreciation of the hard work and commitment exhibited by staff during the year.

 

Financing

Last year, the Board stated that one of its principal objectives for the coming year was to build a financially secure platform to enable the business to grow. I am pleased to report that this has been achieved with the Group having raised a further £4.1m of new funding (FY11: £2.2m).

 

Shareholders

The Board are very grateful to its shareholders for their on-going support and we will continue to strive to increase shareholder value.

 

 

 

Outlook

In 2011, Project Merlin was launched by the Government in an attempt to stimulate UK banks into lending to SMEs, but to date the banks have failed to meet the targets set.  Now, more than ever, 1pm has an important role in helping SMEs expand and grow, by offering access to funding which currently is not being provided by the mainstream banking sector.

 

The asset and leasing industry has stepped up to the plate and is starting to fill the funding gap that has evolved. We see this as a major opportunity for our business and we intend to take full advantage of all such opportunities as they occur.

 

The progress of the business this year has been unprecedented and the Board and staff look forward to another year of further significant growth.

Corporation tax is calculated at 20% (2011: 21%) of estimated assessable profit for the year. The tax expense of £87,602 is then reduced to nil through the utilisation of the tax losses brought forward, the income statement charge being the utilisation of the tax loss (via the deferred tax).

 

7.          PROFIT OF PARENT COMPANY

 

As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, the income statement and statement of comprehensive income of the parent company is not presented as part of these financial statements. The parent company's profit for the financial year was £0 (2011 - £0).

 

8.          EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The calculations of earning per share are calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. There are no dilutive ordinary shares.

                    23.                  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The group's financial instruments comprise cash and liquid resources, including receivables and payables that are also financial instruments that arise directly from operations. The main purpose of the financial instruments is to fund the group's operations. As a matter of policy the group does not trade in financial instruments, nor does it enter into any derivative transactions.

 

The operations of the group have principally been financed to date through the funds raised on the placing of shares on the Alternative Investment Market and block funding payables. The group has an overdraft facility in place with the group's bankers and an overdraft facility totalling £350,000 (2011: £350,000).

 

The group's main objectives for the management of capital are; to ensure there is sufficient cash available to be able to provide finance to customers, and to be able to pay debts as they fall due. The forms of capital managed by the group are the block funding and bank overdraft facilities. The group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements from these finance providers.

 

Working capital requirements are constantly monitored including the interest rates from the key providers of block funding finance.

 

The main risks to the group, and the policies adopted by the directors to minimise the efforts on the group are as follows:

 

Credit Risk - The directors believe that credit risk is limited due to debts being spread over a large number of receivables. No individual receivable poses a significant risk. In recent years the group has reduced the average lease value as this reduces the group's exposure to significant, individual receivables and group debt collection procedures are continually assessed.

 

Interest rate and liquidity risk - All of the group's cash balances and short term deposits are held in such a way that enables the correct balance of access to working capital and a competitive rate of interest is achieved.
