Chairman's statement 
This has been a difficult period for the Real Office Group with the painful 
decision taken to withdraw from the Middle East.  It is a blow to me personally 
that we as a Board were unable to grow the business in the Middle East in a more 
orderly manner. 
Results for 2009/10 
As ever Pacific Interiors has performed well in trying times producing revenues 
of GBP21.8m at a gross margin of 11.3% resulting in a profit before tax of 
GBP0.8m and cash balances of GBP1.9m.  The Group as a whole had turnover of 
GBP22.6m, loss before tax of GBP8.9m and cash balances of GBP1.9m.  Of the 
GBP8.9m loss, GBP8.5m was in respect of discontinued activities in the UAE and 
Qatar and the disposal of ISIS Projects Limited. 
We disposed of ISIS Projects as it was no longer part of our strategic focus and 
we are reviewing the future of our Indian business which is 51% owned by the 
Group currently. 
The Company completed a capital reorganisation in August 2010 which places it on 
a much stronger financial base via the creation of a positive retained earnings 
balance of GBP2.5m giving it the ability to declare a dividend should it be 
considered appropriate. 
Board 
As a result of the changing nature of the business we have taken the decision to 
streamline the overheads across the Group and as a result Mike Linforth and 
Andrew Huntley have left the business during the year, Paddy Greenwood has 
rejoined the board having stepped down on 16 July 2010 and Peter Conroy has 
joined as a Non-Executive Director. 
Outlook 
Now that we have focused the Group back into our European heartland and 
restructured it into a more cost effective business, I look forward to growing 
our core businesses in the UK and Europe over the coming months. 
On a final note I want to thank all our current employees for their unstinting 
efforts.

1.         Accounting policies 
Basis of preparation 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention 
and on a going concern basis which assumes that the Group will be able to meet 
its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months following the date of 
approval of these financial statements.  The Directors have considered the going 
concern assumption in the preparation of the financial statements. 
Statement of compliance 
The consolidated financial statements of the Group and Company have been 
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted 
for use in the European Union ("IFRS") and The Companies Act, 2006. 
Basis of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of 
the Company and its subsidiaries drawn up to 31 July each year.  Control is 
achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating 
policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities. 
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included 
in the income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the 
effective date of disposal, as appropriate. 
Long term contracts 
When the outcome of individual contracts can be foreseen with reasonable 
certainty and can be measured reliably, a margin is recognised by reference to 
the stage of completion, based on the percentage margin forecast at completion. 
The stage of completion is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred 
for work performed to date, to the estimated total contract costs or the 
proportion of the value of work done to the total value of work under contract. 
Full provision is made for all known expected losses on individual contracts 
immediately once such losses are foreseen.  Margin in respect of variations in 
contract work and claims is recognised if it is probable they will result in 
revenue.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| (a) Disposal of ISIS Projects Limited                                  | 
|                                                                        | 
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| On 28 January 2010, the board of directors completed the sale of its   | 
| entire investment in ISIS Projects Limited ("ISIS").  The proceeds of  | 
| sale were substantially below the carrying amount of the related net   | 
| assets and, accordingly, impairment losses were recognised.  The       | 
| disposal of the construction operations is consistent with the Group's | 
| long-term policy to focus its activities in the design and build       | 
| arena.  Details of the assets and liabilities disposed of, and the     | 
| calculation of the profit or loss on disposal, are disclosed below.    | 
|                                                                        |

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 
| After a major customer in the Middle East twice defaulted on its       | 
| contractual obligations, on 28 February 2010 the decision was taken to | 
| close down the operations of Pacific Middle East LLC ("PME"), Pacific  | 
| Middle East Turnkey (Abu Dhabi) LLC and Pacific Middle East Turnkey    | 
| (Dubai) LLC (collectively "UAE").  The impact of these decisions has   | 
| been reflected in these results by showing separately the loss from    | 
| these discontinued activities in the Income statement in accordance    | 
| with IFRS 5 and by providing for the impairment of the investments in  | 
| Pacific Middle East LLC, Pacific Middle East Turnkey (Abu Dhabi) LLC   | 
| and Pacific Middle East Turnkey (Dubai) LLC.                           | 
|                                                                        |

| Dhabi) LLC and Pacific Middle East Turnkey (Dubai) LLC) included in the        |
