*NB: in April 2011 the Group announced it was changing its accounting reference date from 31 December to 31 March and hence would be producing a second set of interim results this calendar year for the six months to 31 December 2011. In order to retain visibility on the Group's performance both the latest 6 months and full year (calendar) key financial highlights are presented and commented on with the full year comparatives included as appendices.

Highlights

   --      Strong performance driven by focus on brand development and by driving sales growth 

-- Continuing profit before tax up 148% to GBP5.7m (2010: GBP2.3m) (Profit before tax from continuing businesses)

   --      EBITDA up 62% to GBP9.1m (2010: GBP5.6m) 

-- Particularly strong second half EBITDA performance of GBP6.4m (2010: GBP5m), driven by sales growth and a focus on value added activities

-- Key trading divisions of Napier Brown, Garrett and Renshaw all increased their EBITDA performance year on year

-- Significant improvement in Net Debt / EBITDA ratio, down from 4.0 at 31 December 2010 to 2.8 at 31 December 2011

   --      Lower Net Debt of GBP25.8m, down from GBP31.9m at June 2011. 

Pieter Totte, Executive Chairman, commented:

"We have a clear growth plan. Our strategic focus is on creating solid sustainable profitability based on self-help initiatives including brand development, sales growth and risk management. We are now seeing significant benefits coming through from this. We are also benefitting from our adjustment to the structural development in market supply affecting our biggest business, Sugar, in which we moved from a surplus market to a deficit market, with associated higher prices and the need to secure surety of supply.

I am extremely pleased that the progress we have made is reflected in a significant improvement in our financial performance during 2011. With trading starting positively in January, and divisional management achieving further progress in their improvement programmes, I am confident of meeting our expectations for 2012, and of remaining on track to achieve our aspiration of doubling the size of the business within three years."

Notes to Editors

The Real Good Food Company plc ("the Group"), owns the largest independent non-refining distributor of sugar in Europe (Napier Brown) and is a supplier of dairy ingredients (Garrett), supplies bakery ingredients (Renshaw), jam and bakery ingredients (R&W Scott) and manufactures patisserie and desserts (Haydens Bakery).

Overview

Having completed the second interim period (1 July to 31 December 2011), the Group can report continuing profit before tax at GBP5.7m for the year as a whole in line with market expectations and up significantly, 148%, on last year (2010: GBP2.3m). EBITDA at GBP9.1m for the year as a whole was also up significantly by 62% on the prior year (2010: GBP5.6m). This included a strong second half performance with EBITDA of GBP6.4m, an increase of 28% over the comparable period (2010: GBP5m) and continuing the positive trend reported for the first half of 2011. Sales growth and a focus on value added activities were the key drivers behind this improvement.

The key trading divisions of Napier Brown, Garrett and Renshaw all increased their EBITDA performance year on year. Haydens and the newly formed R&W Scott were affected by increased commodity costs that weren't recovered in pricing until late in the year.

Overall, the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio has improved significantly, down from 4.0 at 31 December 2010 to 2.8 at 31 December 2011.

Increased commodity costs during the year have pushed up working capital levels but, as previously forecast, these have now eased with the year closing at GBP36.7m, down from GBP39.7m at June 2011. This is reflected, along with the benefit of higher cash generation in the second half, in a lower Net Debt level of GBP25.8m, down from GBP31.9m at June 2011.

Divisional Updates

Renshaw enjoyed another strong period of growth with Renshaw branded products now in most major retailers. Rollout will continue during 2012, both in the UK and internationally. Retailers, with supporting media coverage, are maintaining a focus on cake decorating and home baking which is bringing new consumers into the category and leading to greater prominence in store and new listings for Renshaw products. A focus on delivering operational improvements will be key in the coming months to enable the business to cope with increasing demand and to improve efficiencies.

We have re-established R&W Scott (based at Carluke and previously a part of Renshaw) as a separate trading division in order to bring more focus to the Chocolate Coatings, Jams and Blends range. Brand development and improved product offerings are key in delivering growth and reducing exposure to commodity movements.

Napier Brown has been successful in extending its Sugar supply base, underpinning its growth plans. The experience gained in supplying these sugars is invaluable as a point of difference with customers looking for options outside of the traditional beet refiners. Investment in sugar handling systems is planned to allow sugar from a variety of sources to be imported, handled and delivered cost effectively. We are hopeful that the revitalisation of the Whitworths retail brand will start to bear fruit as a number of new listings have been gained for new products and packs in 2012.

Garrett has made significant progress in 2011 remaining strong in the ice cream sector and growing in the food manufacturing sectors with new cheese and cultured products complementing the existing range. Garrett has become the sole distributor for Friesland Campina sweet condensed milk in the UK and Ireland; the latest example of building strategic relationships by supplying outstanding customer service and technical assurance and offering added value to customers. Garrett is increasing its supplier base in the UK, Ireland and in particular Eastern Europe to ensure supply lines and help manage risk within the volatile Dairy markets.

Haydens, after a period of difficult trading, ended the year strongly with a record sales month and a Christmas period considerably up year-on-year, demonstrating the continued appetite in the market for its hand crafted bakery and chilled value added products.

Phase I of the site modernisation was completed with the opening of the new distribution facility in May 2011, improving service performance and creating space in the factory for its redevelopment which is, however, now starting six months later than planned. Remedial action to reduce direct costs has been taken with major changes implemented to shift patterns and further production efficiencies are planned at the start of Q2 2012 with the introduction of blast freezing and chilling equipment in the manufacturing process. This should have a major impact both on material and labour efficiencies on short manufacturing runs as well as providing additional capacity to support growth.

Significant Items

As part of the improvement plans at Haydens we took the decision in Q3 to accelerate major changes to the management structure as well as the shift patterns in the factory incurring one off costs (mainly severance payments).

Cash flow and Debt

Working Capital levels at Dec 2011 at GBP36.7m have fallen, as predicted, from June (GBP39.7m) but remain higher than Dec 2010 (GBP29.7m) primarily driven by higher commodity costs as reported on during the year. Capex levels in the second half at GBP1.5m were in line with 2010 (GBP1.6m) but at GBP3.1m for the year as a whole up GBP0.9m on 2010 (GBP2.4m) as planned.

Net Debt (incl cash) at Dec 2011 was GBP25.8m down from June at GBP31.9m but up on the Dec 2010 level of GBP22.6m reflecting the working capital movement. The Group retains significant headroom within both its banking covenant and its facilities.

Outlook

The Real Good Food Company continues to pursue its strategy of creating solid sustainable profitability based on self-help initiatives including brand development, sales growth and risk management.

With trading starting positively in January, and divisional management achieving further progress in their improvement programmes, the Group is confident in meeting expectations for 2012.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 31 DECEMBER 2011

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO

THE REAL GOOD FOOD COMPANY PLC

Introduction

We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the six monthly interim financial report for the six months ended 31 December 2011, which comprises the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cashflows and the related notes. We have read the other information contained in the six monthly interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.

This report is made solely to the company, as a body, in accordance with our instructions. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Directors' Responsibilities

The six monthly interim financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors.

As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this six monthly financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union.

Our Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the six monthly interim financial report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the six monthly interim financial report for the six months ended 31 December 2011 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 31 DECEMBER 2011

   1.    General Information 

The Real Good Food Company Plc is a public limited company ("company") incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act (registration number 4666282). The company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered address is 229 Crown Street Liverpool Merseyside L8 7RF. The company's shares are traded on the Alternative Investment Market ("AIM").

The principal activities of the group are the sourcing, manufacture, marketing and distribution of food and industrial ingredients.

Copies of the interim report are being sent to shareholders. Further copies of the interim report and Annual Report and Accounts may be obtained from the address above.

   2.    Basis of preparation 

These condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and have been prepared in accordance with AIM rules and the Companies Act 2006, as applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

The financial information set out in this document does not comprise the statutory accounts of the company within the meaning of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed within these interim financial statements as adopted in the most recent annual financial statements.

New IFRS standards and interpretations not adopted

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that have been published and which are effective for the company's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 and which are applicable to the company, but which have not been adopted early are:

   --      IAS 12 Amendments to Deferred tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets 
   --      IAS 1 Amendment - Presentation of items of other comprehensive income 
   --      IAS 19 Amendment - Employee Benefits

The adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations is not expected to have a material impact on the group's profit for the period or equity. Application of these standards will result in some changes in presentation of information within the condensed interim financial statements.

   3.    Significant items 

It is the group's policy to show items that it considers being of a significant nature seperately on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in order to assist the reader to understand the accounts.

Geographical segments

The group earns revenue from countries outside the United Kingdom, but as these only represent 3.2% of the total revenue of the group, segmental reporting of a geographical nature is not considered necessary in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8.

   5.    Earnings per ordinary share 

Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the profit for the period after tax, divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue for the six month period of 69,494,071 (2011 68,310,833).

Diluted profit per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all potential dilutive ordinary shares. Potential dilutive ordinary shares arise from share options and warrants. For these, a calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the company's shares) based on the monetary value of the exercise price attached to outstanding share options. Thus the dilutive weighted average number of shares considers the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

An adjusted profit per share and a diluted adjusted profit per share, which exclude significant items, has also been calculated as in the opinion of the board this will allow shareholders to gain a clearer understanding of the trading performance of the group.

   6.    Dividends 

No dividend is proposed for the six months ended 31 December 2011 (2010 Nil).

   7.    Taxation 

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the period and takes into account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes.

Provision is made in full for taxation deferred in respect of timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except for gains on disposal of fixed assets which will be rolled over into replacement assets. No provision is made for taxation on permanent differences. Deferred tax is not discounted.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be recovered.

   8.    Pension arrangements 

A subsidiary of the Group, RenshawNapier Limited, operates a defined benefit pension scheme, the Napier Brown Retirement Benefits Scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The contributions made by the employer over the six-month period have been GBP73,000

Assumptions

The assets of the scheme have been included at market value and the liabilities have been calculated using the following principal actuarial assumptions:

 
                                       31 December     30 June 2011

The fair value of the assets in the scheme, the present value of the liabilities in the scheme and the expected rate of return at each balance sheet date were:

   (Deficit) / surplus in the scheme              (906)              856 
 

The scheme is a closed scheme and therefore under the projected unit method the current service cost would be expected to increase as the members of the scheme approach retirement.
