Simonds Farsons Cisk plc - Interim Directors’ Statement

On 28 November, Simonds Farsons Cisk plc issued its Interim Directors’ Statement updating the market on its performance during the three months ended 31 October 2012 (representing the third quarter of the Group’s financial year). During this period, the Group’s turnover and overall performance was marginally better than that reported during the corresponding period last year in spite of the intense competition. Moreover, the Directors expect that the results for the current financial year ending 31 January 2013 will be higher than those registered in the previous financial year when the Farsons Group registered a record profit before tax of €5.1 million.

The announcement also explained that the Group’s cash and indebtedness positions continue to remain at satisfactory and within projected levels.
