Chairman's Statement
It has been an extremely difficult and disappointing year for
the Group. Trading conditions have continued to be challenging with
increased competition creating pressure on gross margins within
both the wholesale and retail textile markets. Hemmers-Itex Textile
Import Export GmbH ('Hemmers'), the main trading subsidiary, has
been affected by the deterioration in both its German and external
markets.
On 5(th) July 2018, an additional investment was made in
Stoff-Ideen-KMR Gmbh ('KMR') so that the company became a wholly
owned subsidiary rather than a joint venture arrangement. KMR has a
limited number of retail shops in Germany and the directors had
hoped that with full control of the business and synergies with
Hemmers, that the company would contribute to increased profits for
the Group. As the retail market in Germany has deteriorated, KMR
has also been affected with sales falling during the year with no
positive result contribution.
During the year the directors have therefore undertaken a
further strategic review of all trading businesses within the
Group. The directors see the need to further concentrate on the
Group's core business, Hemmers, and have implemented plans and cost
cutting measures to ensure that the company is in a good position
both to face the current challenging market conditions and to
respond to any improvement. A decision has been made to close
Chinoh-Tex Ltd ('Chinoh-Tex'), the Chinese subsidiary of Hemmers,
as it is not generating adequate profits despite recent actions
taken to reduce costs. A number of measures have been implemented
in KMR to further improve efficiencies and reduce the cost base,
such as implementation of new IT systems and changes to how shops
are staffed and managed. Management will closely monitor the
performance of the KMR retail outlets and take the necessary
actions to ensure satisfactory levels of profit are achieved in
each.
Trading conditions remain challenging and it will be a difficult
year again in 2020, as it will take time for the decisions taken
this year to fully translate into improved results. Given the steps
that have been taken during the year to improve efficiencies which
will reduce the cost level further and enable the Group to compete
with a more aggressive sales strategy to regain lost market share,
the directors do believe the Group will return to acceptable levels
of profit in the forthcoming years, partly because of the potential
for consolidation in the market as we expect some competitors to
exit the market.
On behalf of shareholders, I want to thank the management and
staff of Hemmers, Chinoh-Tex and KMR who have all continued to work
tirelessly in very difficult conditions.

Finance and Operating Review
Group result
Group revenue in the year was GBP41,271,000 (2018:
GBP41,538,000). Despite including KMR as a wholly owned subsidiary
for eleven months of the year, sales are slightly lower than last
year. Market conditions for all trading subsidiaries have been
challenging and all companies have faced intense competition both
domestically and internationally.
The Group's operating loss of GBP1,022,000 includes a goodwill
impairment charge of GBP982,000. (2018: profit GBP1,152,000).
Overheads were higher than expected and action has now been taken
to realign those overheads to the reduced turnover levels. The
goodwill that arose when the Group acquired Hemmers in 1999
amounting to GBP982,000 has been provided for in the year as an
impairment and shown as an exceptional item. Therefore, the Group
loss before tax this year is GBP1,250,000 (2018: profit
GBP885,000).
The tax charge in the year was GBP43,000 (2018: GBP340,000).
Loss per share was 4.7p (2018: earnings per share 2.0p).
Hemmers
This German-based business is engaged in the import, warehousing
and wholesaling of fabrics.
Sales for the year were significantly lower than last year at
GBP30,939,000 (2018: GBP38,299,000). The market in Germany has
fallen considerably during the year and Hemmers has also come under
increased price pressure from competitors. The gross margin
percentage decreased slightly to 21.0% (2018: 22.1%) and that,
together with the lower level of sales volume, has resulted in a
fall in gross profit. Despite a 6% reduction in overhead
expenditure, the pre-tax profit reduced to GBP239,000 (2018:
GBP1,123,000). A strategic sales review coupled with a
comprehensive cost review was undertaken during the financial year
to ensure the cost base for Hemmers is aligned to the current
market conditions. Hemmers is focused on growing its business
domestically and internationally in both its wholesale and retail
markets with a more aggressive sales strategy. Hemmers will thereby
be in a better position to compete in the marketplace next year to
regain lost market share, but it will take some time for the new
strategies to be fully recognised.
Hemmers bank debt, net of cash, decreased in the year to
GBP4,197,000 (2018: GBP4,963,000). This bank debt is secured on the
assets of Hemmers.
KMR
On 5(th) July 2018, KMR became a wholly owned subsidiary within
the Group. Prior to that the Group owned 50% of KMR and it was
therefore accounted for as a joint venture. Up to that date, the
Group's share of the post-tax loss of KMR in the year was GBP34,000
(2018: GBP107,000) and that amount is shown separately on the face
of the profit and loss account. From the date of acquisition, KMR
has been fully consolidated into the Group accounts.
KMR is a retail business trading in Germany. KMR's operating
performance since acquisition has been well below expectations.
Sales for the company for the whole year were lower than last year
at GBP8,656,000 (2018: GBP9,343,000). The German retail market has
fallen considerably during the year and therefore KMR sales have
fallen also.
Costs were too high for the level of trading resulting in an
increased loss for the year of GBP554,000 (2018: loss of
GBP210,000). The integration and efficiencies expected at the start
of the financial year have not yet been delivered and further
actions have been taken to resolve the situation. Improved working
efficiencies have been implemented including the introduction of
new working patterns which should ensure that KMR achieves a
breakeven position next year.
Chinoh-Tex
Chinoh-Tex is a textile trading subsidiary of Hemmers. It is
based in Shanghai and has been trading for eleven years. It
purchases fabric from Chinese suppliers and in 2019 sold to
customers in 52 countries. 43% of sales were made to EU countries
(2018: 43%). External sales revenue was considerably lower this
year GBP2,366,000 (2018: GBP3,239,000). Gross margins, however,
improved to 19% (2018: 15%). In line with the cost review
undertaken, overhead spending was reduced as compared to last year
GBP251,000 (2018: GBP388,000). Thus, despite the reduced level of
sales Chinoh-Tex's result for the year was a pre-tax profit of
GBP31,000 (2018: loss GBP86,000).
Chinoh-Tex has provided valuable assistance to its European
parent with the purchasing, inspection and shipping of material.
However internal sales revenue this year, based on arms-length
prices, amounted to just GBP204,000 (2018: GBP556,000). With
Chinoh-Tex also facing increased competition and decreasing sales
as more customers choose to deal directly with the manufacturers in
China, the directors have decided to cease trading effective 28
August 2019 with the liquidation completed by 31 December 2019.
This will enable Hemmers management to entirely focus on developing
the Hemmers and KMR businesses.
Fixed Assets
Capital additions in the year amounted to GBP550,000 (2018:
GBP400,000). The net book amount of tangible fixed assets in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is GBP9,543,000 (2018:
GBP8,319,000). The acquisition of KMR increased fixed assets by
GBP1,307,000, of which GBP864,000 related to freehold land and
buildings.
Working Capital
Working capital which comprises inventories, trade and other
receivables, and trade and other payables increased in the year by
GBP1,031,000 (2018: decreased GBP345,000). This is due mainly to
the acquisition of KMR as KMR had working capital of GBP1,761,000
at the date of acquisition. There were no major changes to the
working capital requirements for the Group during the year. The
Group continues to monitor its working capital requirements within
its current banking facilities.
Net Asset Value
Net assets decreased in the year by GBP1,247,000 as follows:
Net assets Per share
GBP000 pence
At 31 May 2018
(restated based on shares in issue
at 31 May 2019) 18,988 69.4

At 31 May 2019 17,741 64.9
====================================== ============ ===========
Debt Profile
The funding policy of the Group continues to be to match its
funding requirement in trading subsidiaries in a cost-effective
fashion with an appropriate combination of short and longer-term
debt. Property investments have been financed partly by long term
loans at fixed interest rates between 1.05% and 4.07%. Working
capital finance, when required, is via short term loans of three
months currently attracting interest at rates of between 1.25% and
2.5%. Bank debt in the subsidiaries is secured by charges on
inventories, receivables and property and is without recourse to
the Parent Company.
Impairment reviews
In accordance with IAS 36, an annual impairment review was
carried out for each cash-generating subsidiary to which goodwill
is allocated. Based on this review the directors considered that
the goodwill of GBP982,000 arising on the acquisition of Hemmers in
1999 was impaired and thus the goodwill was written off in the
financial statements.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board has identified the main categories of business risk in
relation to the Group's strategic aims and objectives, and has
considered reasonable steps to prevent, mitigate and manage these
risks. The principal risks identified are as follows:
Funding risk
The Group has a combination of short-term borrowing facilities
and longer-term loan agreements secured on Group properties. The
Group remains dependent upon the support of these funders and there
is a risk that failure in a particular company to meet banking
covenants could have implications for the Group. Borrowing
facilities are monitored regularly and the facilities agreed are
more than needed for the Group's requirements. The Group has close
working relationships with their current funders but believe
alternative banking funders could be secured if required.
Market risk
There is always the ongoing threat of reduced market demand.
This has been seen this year and the Group continues to strive to
combat the reduced demand by looking at other markets both
domestically and internationally and looking at expanding its
product ranges for example introducing home furnishing
products.
The commercial risks of operating in the highly competitive
European fabric market are limited by the fact that Hemmers has a
wide range of suppliers, and no customer accounts for more than 5%
of revenues.
Foreign exchange risk
Most fabric purchased by Hemmers is paid for in US dollars,
while the Euro is the principal currency in which Hemmers sells its
product. The Euro/dollar rate is of greater significance to Leeds
Group than the strength of Sterling. The Hemmers management
continue to manage this transactional currency risk by a
combination of forward exchange contracts with reputable banks and
sales price increases where necessary.
Brexit
Following the UK referendum result in favour of leaving the
European Union ("EU"), the economic environment has become much
more uncertain. This uncertainty has continued as the UK looks to
secure an acceptable deal and the revised date of 31 October 2019
to leave the EU has been extended. The threat of no deal creates
even more uncertainty as does the continual deadline extensions.
However, the business of Leeds Group is conducted entirely by
subsidiaries incorporated in Germany or China, and their exports to
the UK account for approximately 3% only of Group revenue. For this
reason, the Directors do not believe that a material risk to Leeds
Group will arise from the terms on which the UK will, in the
future, have access to EU markets, and vice versa. Leeds Group has
loans denominated in euros which do carry a currency risk and may
be affected by Brexit, however, the directors do not believe the
impact would have a material effect on the Group's results as the
subsidiary trades in Euros and the directors consider this provides
a natural hedge.
The currency markets in particular, dislike the current air of
uncertainty surrounding the current negotiations with regard to the
UK leaving the EU and sterling has weakened since the UK announced
it was leaving the EU. This benefits Leeds Group since, as the
pound weakens, the value of the revenues, profits and net assets of
foreign subsidiaries are increased in sterling terms. This effect
has been seen in both this year's and last year's trading and
Statement of Financial Position.

Notes
1. This announcement has been prepared using the recognition and
measurement principles of International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the European Union.
2. The Directors do not recommend the payment of a dividend in 2019 (2018: GBPnil).
3. The directors have considered the carrying value of the
goodwill arising on the acquisition of Hemmers in 1999. They have
concluded that there is an impairment of the goodwill and thus the
goodwill amounting to GBP982,000 has been provided for in the
accounts.
4. Acquisition of KMR
On 5 July 2018 Hemmers became 100% owners of KMR following the
buyout of our joint venture partner. KMR is a retailer of fabric
and haberdashery, operating shops located throughout Germany. The
consideration was EUR500,000 (GBP440,000) comprising EUR250,000
(GBP220,000) paid in cash and the balance being three shops at a
value of EUR250,000 (GBP220,000). Hemmers invested a further
EUR370,000 (GBP326,000) in the company during the period.
The joint venture investment was accounted for in the
consolidated financial statements of Leeds Group using the equity
accounting method and at 5 July 2019, was held at a carrying value
of GBP697,000.
Accounting for the step acquisition of KMR requires the
directors to fair value the original 50% joint venture investment,
with the resulting loss debited to the profit and loss in
administrative costs as follows:
EUR000 GBP000
-------------------------------------------------- ----------- -------------
As at 5 July 2018:
Fair value share of original joint venture 650 572
Carrying value of investment in consolidated
financial statements 792 697
Loss on fair valuing of joint venture
investment 142 125
================================================== =========== ===========
Upon obtaining 100% control of the KMR entity, the cost of the
investment for the purposes of determining the goodwill is
calculated as follows:
EUR000 GBP000
---------------------------------------------- ----------- -------------
Fair value share of original 50% joint
venture 650 572
Fair value of the consideration paid to
obtain control 500 440
Cost of investment 1,150 1,012
============================================== =========== ===========
The net assets of the newly acquired subsidiary are as
follows:
EUR000 GBP000
-------------------------------------------- ------------ --------------
Fair value of net assets as at 5 July
2018:
Fixed assets 1,485 1,307
Stock 3,138 2,762
Cash 335 295
Debtors 259 228
Creditors (1,731) (1,524)
Loans (2,186) (1,924)
Fair value of assets acquired 1,300 1,144
============================================ ============ ============
The directors consider that the book values of the new assets
acquired approximate to the fair value of the new assets and that
there are no separately identifiable intangible assets.
Goodwill on consolidation is calculated as follows:
EUR000 GBP000
-------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------
Cost of investment 1,150 1,012
Fair value of net assets acquired 1,300 1,144
Negative goodwill arising on consolidation 150 132
============================================ ========== ==========
This negative goodwill is credited to the profit and loss in
administrative costs.
The cash flow effect of the step acquisition is as follows:
EUR000 GBP000
------------------ ---------- ----------------
Cash 335 295
Cost of purchase (250) (220)
Net cash effect 85 75
