Operating cash flow remains good and after funding the initial cash consideration of £3.8m for The Corkery Group acquisition and the cash charges for the restructuring, start-ups and acquisition related costs, the group expects to be broadly debt free at the year-end and in a net cash position as at 27 April 2012, both ahead of expectations.
