CCCCC GROUP LIMITED Company Number: 12346789 The directors present their report together with the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2009. Principal activity and business review The Group's principal activity continues to be that of worldwide sales of widgets. The Directors are pleased to once again report record sales for 2009, continuing the trend of improved sales year on year. Group sales increased by 23% to 444.2m in 2009 (2008: 359.7m) as the Group continued to expand its sales activities through its network of 15 offices in 12 countries. At the year end the group had shareholders funds of 11.5m (2008: 5.9m) of which 10.5m (2008: 4.9m) were distributable reserves. With margins squeezed due to the economic conditions, EBIT decreased to 5.6m (2008: 7.1 m) and operating profit decreased to 4.2m (2008: 6.8m) but the results are solid and underline the importance of product and geographic balance in difficult times. As has been widely publicised, 2009 was one of the most difficult years in recent history with companies all over the world reducing inventories to try and keep ahead of the predicted recession, This resulted in tighter margins as customers in certain destinations either ceased to exist or declined to accept contracted goods. Fortunately CCCCC have a policy of protecting debts across the world through the banking system and the effect was manageable. Given the catastrophic way some markets performed during the year, these are truly exceptional results and reinforce the value of a spread of activities across the globe. The growth in products outside of the Group's core business of big widgets has continued in the year with little widgets all making growing contributions to Group sales and profits. The geographic emphasis has continued too, with expansion in almost all of the Group's 15 offices worldwide. CCCCC Associate exceeded expectations and posted its best ever results as customers began to move towards more economy products. Future Prospects Whilst the sharp fall in interest rates and difficult trading conditions has slowed down the rapid expansion seen since 2005, the Group continues to record solid sales growth. The first quarter of 2010 showed results ahead of the same period last year and the Group is well placed to continue reporting healthy profits for the coming year as manufacturers begin to rebuild inventory levels.
Business Risk The Company has always actively managed its risks and this has enabled it to deliver continued growth in terms of products, geography and profitability. The keyword of the Company is "balance" and this is evident within the geographic areas it operates, the currencies it trades in, and the products sold. Technical risk
There is always a risk that suppliers fail the ever increasing technical requirements enforced by customers. The Company manages this risk through the employment of highly dedicated, qualified and experienced teams of technical personnel, who ensure that all requirements are complied with prior to shipment. Currency risk Traders minimise the currency risk by matching the buying and selling of foreign currency. Where there is a currency exposure on a certain deal, using the projected receipt dates, the traders secure the exchange value. Trade Barriers The market place for widgets is often affected by quota systems, such as licencing and tariffs. The company is actively involved in lobbying and industry representation to minimise the risk. Again, experience and knowledge is the key to managing this risk. Financial risk management objectives and policies The Group finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits, and where necessary to fund expansion or capital expenditure programmes, through bank borrowings. The management objectives are to: retain sufficient liquid funds to enable it to meet its day to day objectives as they fall due whilst maximising returns on surplus funds. minimise the Group's exposure to fluctuating interest rates when seeking new borrowings; and match the repayment schedule of any external borrowings or overdraft with the expected future cash flows expected to arise from the Group's trading activities.

CCCCC GROUP LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009 1 Accounting policies Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the results of CCCCC Group Limited and its subsidiary undertakings for the year ended 31 December 2009 using the acquisition method of accounting. The company has taken advantage of the exemption under S230 of the Companies Act 1985 from presenting its own profit
and loss account. Associates An entity is treated as an associate where the Group holds more than 20% but less than 50% of the issued share capital of the company. The Group's interest in associates is accounted for using the gross equity method of accounting. The consolidated profit and loss account includes the Group's share of the operating results, interest, pre taxation results and attributable taxation of such undertakings based on audited financial statements for the year. In the consolidated balance sheet the interests in associates are shown as the Group's share of the net assets, exclusive of any goodwill. Share based payments The share option programme allows Group employees to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an employee expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date and spread over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. The fair value of the options granted is measured using a Black-Scholes model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options that vest except where forfeiture is only due to share prices not achieving the threshold for vesting. Turnover Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by the company and the Group, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. Intra group turnover is eliminated on consolidation. Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the customer, which is usually upon shipment, or in line with the terms agreed with individual customers and when the amount of income and costs can be measured reliably. Intangible assets Goodwill arising on the acquisition of business representing any excess of the fair value of the consideration given over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is capitalised and written off on a straight line basis over its useful economic life which is twenty years. An impairment charge is recognised for any amount by which the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its recoverable amount. Any such impairment losses are recognised. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation The cost of tangible fixed assets is their purchase price, together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: Freehold land Freehold property Office equipment and plant Motor vehicles Computer equipment The profit on disposal of fixed assets is recognised upon final completion of nil 2% per annum straight line 15 - 25% per annum reducing balance 25% per annum reducing balance 33.3% per annum straight line
the sales contract. Investments The investment in subsidiary undertakings are stated as cost less any diminution in value. The company acquired the shares of the subsidiary undertaking for a cash consideration and a share for share exchange transaction. The cost is the consideration paid plus the nominal value of shares issued on exchange plus various debt instruments issued at fair value. Stocks Stocks on the balance sheet includes goods for resale (inventory) and goods in transit. Goods for resale represents stock held for which there is no imminent sale to a customer. Goods in transit are products travelling to a known customer but where title has not yet passed due to the non fulfilment of sales terms.
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and Slow-moving stocks. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in first out basis. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price less additional costs to completion and disposal. Operating lease agreements All current leases qualify as operating leases. Their annual rentals are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Reverse premiums and similar incentives received to enter into operating lease agreements are released to the profit and loss account over the period to the date on which the rent is first expected to be adjusted to the prevailing market rate. Pension costs Contributions to the Group's defined contribution pension scheme are charged to the profit and loss account in the year in which they become payable. Deferred taxation Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date, where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred by the balance sheet date with certain limited exceptions. Deferred tax is calculated on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded using the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date except where they are covered by forward contracts when the forward rate is used. Any gains or losses on translation are included in the profit and loss account. The financial statements of overseas subsidiary undertakings are translated at the rate of exchange ruling. at the balance sheet date. The exchange difference arising on the retranslation of opening net assets is taken directly to reserves. All other translation differences are taken to the profit and loss account. Financial Instruments Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of it's liabilities. 2 Turnover The turnover and profit before tax are attributable to the one principal activity of the Group. The directors consider that it would be commercially prejudicial to disclose the analysis of turnover by geographical location and profit before tax of the different classes of business. 3 Operating profit
