  CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
 
 
Overview 
 
 
During the course of 2008, we continued to experience very difficult trading 
conditions, which deteriorated more significantly in the final quarter. Margins 
were continually under pressure from raw materials, fuel inflation and a very 
competitive market place. 
 
 
Total Group sales for the period fell by 5.4% to GBP219m, principally due to a 
7% fall in revenues in our Sugar Division. By contrast, sales in our Bakery 
Ingredients Division rose by 9.2% to GBP35.0m, while we also achieved a marginal 
increase in revenue at our Bakery Division. 
 
 
Our Sugar Division has continued to operate in a very competitive market, which 
is mostly due to the uncertainty created as the EU sugar regime undergoes 
reform. The commission has now confirmed that a total 5.65 million tonnes of 
sugar has been renounced out of the 6.0 million tonne target. 
 
 
It is anticipated that there will be a small surplus in 2009 leading into the 
second reference price change in October 2009. We do, however, expect the market 
to be in equilibrium in fourth quarter of 2009 and possibly in deficit until the 
new importing regions are able to meet the demand. In theory, this should lead 
to an improvement in operating margins going forward. 
 
 
Board Change 
 
 
We have announced today that Lee Camfield has resigned from his position as 
Chief Financial Officer and will leave the Group in late summer in order to take 
up a role as Chief Operating Officer of a large privately-owned food group. On 
behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Lee for his commitment over the past 
five years and to welcome to the Board Mike McDonough, current Commercial 
Finance Director, who is appointed Group Finance Director, with effect from 
today. 
 
 
Outlook 
 
 
In January, following the conclusion of our strategic review, we decided to 
develop the two principal pillars of the group by consolidating the Renshaw and 
Napier Brown Foods businesses into one focused ingredients business. The new 
business will look to build and drive value from a broader portfolio of both raw 
and value added ingredients. I am pleased to say, the development of this new 
business is progressing in line with our plans and expectations, and we are 
beginning to see the benefits that we envisaged during the strategic review. 
 
 
Whilst trading in this new division at the start of the year has been below that 
of the prior year, this to a degree was anticipated due to the current economic 
climate and, indeed, the division has been trading in line with our expectations 
for 2009, which is encouraging. 
 
 
Sales in the Bakery Division are benefiting from our expansion into food 
service, which has seen an improvement in profitability over the prior year. 
 
 
The Board anticipates that the benefits of its restructuring programme and lower 
interest rate charges during this financial year should be reflected in an 
improved financial performance over the prior year.

 OPERATIonal REVIEW 
 
 
Reorganisation 
 
 
As the Chairman has outlined in his statement, the past year has proved 
extremely challenging as we have faced pressure on margins through the 
competitive European sugar market, as well as the impact of raw material prices 
in our Bakery Ingredients and Bakery divisions. 
 
 
Our response to the challenge of these difficult trading conditions has been to 
implement a reorganisation of the business, as indicated in our pre-close 
statement in December 2008 and confirmed on 13 January 2009. Following a 
strategic review, we have combined our Napier Brown Foods (sugar) and Renshaw 
(bakery ingredients) businesses into a single unit,  Renshawnapier, which is 
based in Liverpool. 
 
 
This new business unit is focused on building and driving value from a broader 
portfolio of both raw and value-added ingredients, and is run by a single 
management team in multiple channels and product sectors, giving added 
flexibility to deliver and meet the challenges ahead. 
 
 
Costs of this reorganisation are one of the significant exceptional costs 
reported in these results, but the results of the reorganisation are expected to 
be cash neutral during the current financial year, and thereafter to produce 
annualised cost savings in the region of GBP0.8m. 
 
 
We now have two operating divisions: Ingredients (Renshawnapier) and Bakery. 
Renshawnapier is the UK's largest independent non-refining distributor of sugar, 
supplying customers throughout the industrial, retail and food service industry. 
It is a supplier of premium quality ingredients to the food industry and a 
leading manufacturer of marzipans, ready-to-roll icings, baking chocolate and 
jam for major cake manufacturers, high street bakers and retailers. 
 
 
The separately-managed Bakery Division comprises Haydens Bakeries and Seriously 
Scrumptious, which produce chilled and ambient premium patisserie and dessert 
products for supply to retail grocery customers. 
 
 
These result are therefore the last time that we will be reporting under the 
previous structure of three business divisions. 
 
 
Sugar Division 
 
 
Napier Brown Foods supplies a range of sugar and dry ingredients to food 
manufacturers and packs sugar for retail grocery and foodservice customers from 
its facilities at Normanton, near Leeds.

¹ Including inter-company trading. 
² Normalised operating profit before significant items and central costs. 
 
Overall revenues in 2008 were down 7% on the prior year, primarily due to 
reduced sales in the industrial sector, which reflected reduced consumer 
spending and the impact of currency movements. Margins reduced by 1.4 points as 
a consequence of the competitive nature of the retail market. 
 
 
Following two years of margin decline in the Industrial sector pre-regime 
changes, we are now seeing further evidence of improvement. Whilst the signs to 
date remain positive, we do not anticipate that the margins will improve to the 
levels prior to the announcements relating to regime changes. 
 
 
Our blends operation has successfully integrated the new business secured in the 
early part of the year, with operating margins improving due to purchasing 
activity and some small price increases. Dairy trading proves resilient with 
both volume and margin in line with expectations despite the difficult market 
conditions. 
 
 
Bakery Ingredients Division 
 
 
Renshaw supplies a range of high quality food ingredients primarily to the 
bakery sector, comprising craft bakers and major cake manufacturers and also to 
grocery retailers. It operates two facilities, one in Liverpool and the other in 
Carluke, south-east of Glasgow.

Revenues in the year were up 9.2% on the prior year, reflecting growth in the 
retail sector, as the trend towards home baking continued and we secured 
additional retail listings. 
 
 
Compound sales in the second half recovered, with overall volume up 7.6% Margins 
were slightly down on the year, however, due to material price inflation during 
the prior year and the delay in implementing a number of price increases. 
 
 
Customer Service in the year improved significantly on the prior year, 
reflecting the reorganisation and refocusing of the supply chain at the end of 
2007. Whilst operational efficiency improved marginally, actual labour costs 
improved, particularly in Carluke. 
 
 
During the busy seasonal campaign, the Liverpool factory successfully made the 
transition to dual shift working to supply customer service initiatives and 
facilitate retail ordering patterns, which were skewed towards the year end. 
 
 
Bakery Division 
 
 
Hayden's Bakeries produces chilled and ambient premium patisserie and dessert 
products to retail grocery customers. It operates from a site in Devizes, 
Wiltshire.

Overall, this was a very poor year for our Bakery Division, which provided many 
challenges that we did not resolve to our satisfaction. Revenues were marginally 
ahead of the prior year, but profitability was well behind management 
expectations. 
 
 
Material inflation continued to erode margins as we were unable to recover these 
through price increases. In line with our strategy to diversify our customer 
profile, we entered the Food service arena incurring some significant one off 
costs and operational issues further diluting margins on the new lines. 
 
 
A number of steps were taken to address these issues and as a consequence, 
margins have now stabilised and the business is now making a positive 
contribution to the Group.

FINANCIAL REVIEW 
 
 
Revenue 
 
 
Group revenue from continuing operations showed a decline of 5.4% to GBP218.7m 
(2007: GBP231.1m), largely reflecting a fall in revenues within our Sugar 
Division during the year. Sugar Division revenues were 7% behind the prior year 
reflecting reduced industrial sales, especially within the first half of the 
year and falling sugar prices relating to the sugar regime changes, these price 
reductions were partially offset by the stronger Euro which increased both 
revenue and cost of sales equally. 
 
 
Revenue at our Bakery Ingredients Division was 9.8% up on the prior year aided 
by both increasing sales prices and volumes which were 7% up on 2007. Sales 
volumes were aided by increased retail sales and higher intercompany sales of 
icing sugar. 
 
 
Haydens Bakeries delivered a 0.7% increase in revenue in the year, boosted by 
new sales into the Foodservice sector in the last four months of the year. 
 
 
Margins 
 
 
The reduction in continuing operations gross profit margin, before significant 
items, to 11.4% (2007: 12.8%) reflects the difficult trading conditions 
experienced across all three operating Divisions in 2008, where price increases 
and cost reduction initiatives have been unable to offset rising input costs. 
Margins were further hindered by one-off launch costs within our Bakery 
Division, associated with its expansion into the Foodservice sector. 
 
 
Profit before tax and interest 
 
 
Whilst combined distribution and administration costs reduced versus the prior 
year, the reductions were insufficient to avoid the reduction in gross profit 
margins from impacting the Group's operating profit where margins reduced to 
1.6% (2007: 3.2%). 
 
 
Financing costs 
 
 
Continuing operations net finance costs, pre significant items and other finance 
income, for the year totalled GBP3.0m (2007: GBP3.7m) benefiting from the 
reduced debt of the Group following the disposal of Five Star Fish in June 2007, 
reducing market interest rates during the second half of 2008 and from our new 
financing arrangement from the middle of 2008, where the applicable interest 
rates are computed from base rates rather than LIBOR. 
 
 
The Group has previously entered into a number of interest rate swap deals to 
reduce its interest rate exposure. Under international accounting standards the 
Group has provided for a fair value charge in relation to these swaps of 
GBP613,000 (2007: gain of GBP22,000). 
 
 
Significant Items 
 
 
During the year the Group incurred costs in relation to a number of significant 
items. The re-financing of the Group in the summer incurred break costs with our 
previous lender and the release of prepaid loan arrangement fees, in all 
totalling GBP0.8m; the merger of the Sugar and Bakery Ingredients divisions into 
Renshawnapier combined with earlier restructuring costs against a number of the 
Group operations totalled GBP0.9m, whilst GBP0.2m has been set aside as an 
increase in an onerous lease provision as we have been unable to sub-let the 
property. 
  Cash Flow and Debt 
 
 
The Group's total net debt as at 31 December was GBP31.5m (2007: GBP25.9m). The 
2007 net debt is flattered by the deferred tax payment of GBP2.6m held on 
deposit relating to the sale of 5 Star Fish in the previous year, which was 
subsequently paid during the first half of 2008. 
 
 
The Group's borrowing facilities with KBC Business Capital comprise GBP37.9m of 
total facilities, of which GBP29.8m was utilised as at 31 December 2008, at a 
blended average cost of 2.78% over base rate. During the early part of the year 
the Group restructured part of its borrowings with its original lenders. This, 
combined with the re-financing with KBC Business Capital in July 2008, has 
resulted in our cashflow reflecting loan repayments of GBP51.8m and loan 
advances of GBP49.4m. 
 
 
Reflecting the current economic climate, the Group has recently completed 
resetting its covenant levels with its bankers to provide a greater degree of 
headroom. 
 
 
Pensions 
 
 
The subsidiaries of the Group, Napier Brown Foods Limited and Napier Brown and 
Company Limited, operate a defined benefit pension scheme. The scheme is closed 
to new members. The IAS 19 valuation of the scheme at the year end identified a 
GBP0.3m deficit, a deterioration of GBP2.0m on the prior year. During the year 
the Group contributed GBP95,000 (2007: GBP127,000) to the scheme. 
 
 
Financial Reporting Review Panel 
 
 
During 2008, the Financial Reporting Review Panel, in line with its policy to 
review the accounts of public and large private companies for compliance with 
the law and accounting standards, selected the Group's accounts for review. 
Following correspondence with the panel and the undertaking to incorporate some 
additional disclosures in our annual report, the panel have indicated that no 
amendments are required to our annual report which was issued last year.

During the year the Group incurred a number of significant items as detailed 
above. The management restructuring costs reflect a number of fundamental 
reorganisations within our operating divisions during the year, including the 
formation of Renshawnapier, the restructuring of the night shift operations at 
our Bakery Division along with a number of other material changes to the 
operations of the Divisions. 
 
 
The Group also incurred costs associated with the re-financing during the summer 
including bank break costs and the release of the associated prepaid loan 
arrangement fees. 
The onerous lease provision relates to a vacant property that the Group has been 
unable to re-lease. 
 
 
The write back of accrued interest relates to an outstanding loan note.

  Features of the Group's borrowings are as follows: 
 
 
The Group's financial instruments comprise cash, a term loan, hire purchase and 
finance leases, revolving credit facility, overdraft and various items arising 
directly from its operations such as trade payables and receivables. The main 
purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group's operations. 
 
 
The main risks from the Group's financial instruments are interest rate risk and 
liquidity risk. The Group also has some currency exposure in relation to its 
sugar trade but the majority of this risk is hedged, and also some currency 
exposure in relation to the purchase of Almonds from the United States, however 
this is mitigated by the use of forward exchange contracts. The Board reviews 
and agrees policies, which have remained substantially unchanged for the year 
under review, for managing these risks. 
 
 
5.    SEGMENT REPORTING 
Business segments 
 
 
The Group has adopted IFRS 8 'Operating segments' in advance of its effective 
date, with effect from 1 January 2006. IFRS 8 requires that operating segments 
be identified on the basis of internal reporting and decision-making. The 
Group's operating segments are Sugar, Bakery Ingredients and Bakery as the 
Group's management and reporting structure is set out along these lines. 
 
 
The following table shows the Group's revenue and results for the year under 
review analysed by operating segment. Segment profit represents the trading 
profit after depreciation but before any interest and significant items.
