In yesterday's results, adjusted profit before tax was £0.9m (2007: £1.55m) but on a pre-tax level, the group fell into losses of £246,000 versus £393,000 profit last year. Sales improved 3.5% to £27.97m.
The group said it has been a challenging year with the effects of the recession increasingly impacting its revenue from the automotive sector particularly during the last quarter.
"I am pleased to report that despite the increasingly difficult market conditions, these results are slightly ahead of stockbrokers forecasts issued after our trading update in August 2008," said Leek
