Commentary

Turnover at £172.5m for the 13 weeks to 28 May 2005 was £14.2m higher than prior year, including £21.2 m for the acquired Dillons stores.

Operating profit for the quarter, before exceptional items was £0.1m higher than prior year at £4.7m.

Same store takings before lottery were 2.1% lower than last year. The weighted average store base for the quarter was 11.3% higher than last year due to the impact of Dillons.

The same store sales performance was influenced by lower sales of phone top-up products and news. Tobacco sales were slightly ahead of prior year. Easter performance was reasonable overall in view of the shorter season this year.

Percentage trading margins were in line with prior year. Branch costs were higher due to the increased store base and the impact on wage costs of the October 2004 rise in the National Minimum Wage. Overheads were lower in the quarter as a result of the restructuring exercise implemented in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Exceptional costs of £0.2m comprised further restructuring costs.

The number of trading stores at the end of the quarter was 1,315 after a net reduction of 3 during the quarter. Of the closing base, 308 were classified Convenience stores, 119 Variety stores and 888 Newsagents.

Net interest payable at £3.7m for the quarter was £0.7m higher than prior year. Last year included a credit of £0.5m being interest received in relation to the VAT settlement.

Sterling weakened to £1 = $1.8230 at the quarter end, giving an unrealised exchange loss for the quarter of £3.9m, net of the revaluation of the Company’s currency hedges. The year to date position is a loss of £2.9m.

Cash inflow from operating activities in the quarter was £4.6m compared to an inflow of £10.7m in the same quarter last year. The year to date cash inflow is £2.1m compared to an outflow of £1.4m last year.

At the quarter end cash at bank and in hand was £5.2m.

The matters discussed in this news release include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, economic conditions, product demand, competitive products and services, government regulation, financial resources, certain litigation and other risks indicated in filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
