27 January 2009
IN JUNE 2008, Yotta Laboratories announced a reorganisation of its corporate centre and divisional headquarters to improve customer focus and reduce cost. The Specialty Engineering division was disbanded on 31 July 2008 and its three constituent businesses - John Crane, Yotta Laboratories Interconnect and Flex-Tek - will be reported as separate divisions from the start of the current financial year. In addition, we announced that we will report the corporate centre costs separately in order to provide greater clarity to the underlying margins of the divisions and provide a clear incentive to minimise corporate costs.
The financial results for the six months to 31 January 2009 will be reported on this basis. The pro-forma results for the comparative period are set out below and are subject to review as part of the process for reporting the half year results.
