"We expect the Group's sales for the year to 2 June 2019 to be approximately £254 million and the Group's profit before tax to be not less than £80 million. Royalties receivable from licensing are approximately £11 million. As in the prior year, in recognition of our staff's contribution to these results, we paid during the year profit share bonuses amounting in total to £5 million. These were paid on an equal basis to each member of staff.
In accordance with our ongoing dividend policy of distributing truly surplus cash to shareholders when it becomes available, a dividend of 35 pence per share was paid to shareholders on 31 May 2019, bringing the total paid in the financial year up to £1.55 per share (2018: £1.26 per share)."
