Clanger32,
perhaps you'd like to read my post again before giving me the "naive" and "green" labels.
I can work out percentages quite nicely, ta.
I was referring to the fact that the company has generated enough cash to pay off a huge amount of debt. If it were to perform as well next year nearly £50m of debt would have been cleared in 2 years and the profit next year would be even greater. Imagine the profit the following year having cleared all the debts. My point is that £5.9m or whatever is not the story here. It's the bigger picture that needs to be seen - not just the headline profit that they've decided to put out.
I realise that cash can be generated in other ways than sales revenue, but if the "family" could have gotten their money back by offloading assets I'm sure they would have done this earlier.
