Chairman's Statement 
 
 
I am pleased to report that further progress has been made to strengthen the 
Group's financial position in the six months to 31 March 2009. Despite the 
extremely harsh economic climate which has added to existing industry issues for 
our leisure clients, we have succeeded in increasing operating profit and profit 
before tax, when compared with the same period last year. 
The action taken by the Directors over the past two years to improve operating 
efficiency and reduce overheads has placed the Group in a strong position to 
continue to compete for market share during this period of challenging market 
conditions. 
 
 
Results 
Revenue for the six months to 31 March 2009 was GBP1,966,900, a 7.1% increase on 
the previous year's level of GBP1,836,800, due entirely to higher sales levels 
achieved in investigation services provided outside the leisure sector. The 
overall gross margin remained constant at 37.2% but operating profit before 
central costs increased to 16.3% of sales, from 13.9% last year, reflecting the 
continuing drive to reduce overhead costs. 
 
 
The Group made a profit before tax and interest of GBP138,000, compared with a 
profit before tax and interest of GBP133,200 for the same period last year. The 
profit before tax of GBP34,100 compares with a profit of GBP6,000 for the first 
six months of last year and, as last year, there is no tax charge for the 
period. 
 
 
The profit per share of 0.3p compares with a profit per share of 0.1p for the 
same period last year. 
 
 
The Group generated a net cash inflow from operations of GBP242,300 (2008: 
GBP49,800) and net debt at 31 March 2008 was GBP1,532,200, GBP231,900 lower than 
the same date last year, mainly as a result of a reduction in the overdraft. No 
interim dividend is being declared, as for last year. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Business Review 
 
 
Sales of services to the leisure sector of GBP1,570,400 were GBP103,900, or 
6.2%, lower than the same period last year. This reduction is a direct 
consequence of the difficulties that have prevailed for the past year in this 
sector. In particular, we have been adversely affected by the action taken by 
pubcos and hotel groups to reduce costs in the short term by reducing the 
frequency of stock takes and limiting audit activity. From past experience, we 
believe that such cost cutting during a downturn eventually highlights to our 
clients the significance of our control procedures in maintaining profit margins 
in the longer term which, in turn, will lead to a restoration of demand for the 
provision of our services as confidence in a recovery in the sector builds. In 
addition, the continuing contraction of the licensed retail sector through pub 
closures has been partly offset by the development of our audit business in the 
growing budget hotel sector. The gross margin achieved on leisure based services 
has deteriorated by just 0.8%; with fee levels experiencing pressure from 
clients during these severe market conditions, it has been essential to 
scrutinise our operating costs and take action wherever possible, without 
adversely affecting the quality of service, in order to maintain margin levels. 
 
 
Sales of investigation services to non-leisure clients increased by GBP234,000 
to GBP396,500 for the six months to 31 March 2009. Although there has been an 
increase in activity for these specialised investigation services in the first 
half of this financial year, as previously reported, the nature of this division 
of our business is unpredictable and it is too early to conclude that these 
increased sales represent a sustainable upward trend. However, a notable success 
in this period has been our engagement by an insolvency practitioner to 
investigate a major high profile business which has not only made a significant 
contribution to sales in this reporting period but may also benefit the second 
half of the financial year. Operating profit from non-leisure investigation 
services increased by GBP88,200 to GBP103,000. 
 
 
Central costs have been maintained at a low level although increased corporate 
activity has necessitated an increase in expenditure compared with the same 
period last year. 
 
 
 
 
Current trading and prospects 
Trading in the second half of this financial year to date has continued in line 
with expectations. The challenges facing the leisure sector are still evident 
and are unlikely to be resolved in the short term. However, periods of 
re-structuring have been a common feature of this sector over many years, during 
which time Capcon has benefited from the opportunities that such changes create. 
Meanwhile, further opportunities for our investigations business are expected to 
arise from the financial sector as a consequence of the widespread difficulties 
currently faced by companies under financial stress. 
 
 
The Board believes that the Group is now in a good position to consider growth 
opportunities again if current restrictions on funding can be resolved. We will, 
therefore, continue to focus on the evaluation of all possible ways of 
developing and expanding the Group over the coming months.

2009 does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of 
the Companies Act 2006 and have been neither audited nor reviewed by the group's 
auditors. The comparatives for the full year ended 30 September 2008 are not the 
company's full statutory accounts for that year. A copy of the statutory 
accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The 
auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include references 
to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without 
qualifying their report(s) and did not contain statements under s498(2) or (3) 
Companies Act 2006. 
 
 
Except as noted above, the following principal accounting policies have been 
applied consistently in the preparation of these interim accounts: 
 
 
2.     Accounting Policies 
 
 
Basis of consolidation 
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of Capcon Holdings 
plc and its subsidiary and associated undertakings using the purchase method of 
accounting. 
 
 
Going concern 
The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis 
as, in the opinion of the directors, at the time of approving the financial 
statements, there is a reasonable expectation that the group will continue in 
operational existence for the foreseeable future.  The group finances part of 
its working capital needs through a group overdraft facility. Since the period 
end, the group has secured a new overdraft facility that following draw down 
will be available until 31 December 2009. The group's bankers have indicated 
that there are currently no reasons to believe that this facility will not be 
renewed on similar terms. 
In view of the matters noted above, the directors believe that it is appropriate 
to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial 
statements do not include any adjustments which might be required resulting from 
the group overdraft facility not being renewed on similar terms. 
Goodwill 
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary undertaking is the difference 
between the fair value of the consideration paid and the fair value of the 
assets and liabilities acquired.  Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and 
is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses are 
recognised as an administrative expense in the income statement. 
 
 
Revenue recognition 
Revenue represents sales to external customers at invoiced amount less value 
added tax, adjusted as necessary to reflect those services provided in the year. 
Revenue recognised represents revenue earned appropriate to the stage of 
completion of each contract. 
 
 
Property, plant and equipment 
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation 
is provided to write off the cost, less estimated residual values, of all items 
of property, plant and equipment, over their expected useful lives. It is 
calculated at the following rates: 
 
 
    Fixtures, fittings and equipment    -      25% to 33.3% reducing balance or 
straight line, as appropriate 
 
 
Foreign currency 
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates ruling when they 
occurred. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the 
rates ruling at the balance sheet dates. Any differences are taken to the income 
statement. 
 
 
Deferred taxation 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised where the carrying amount of 
an asset or liability in the balance sheet differs to its tax base, except for 
differences arising on: 
 
 
  *  the initial recognition of goodwill; 
  *  the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a 
  business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither 
  accounting or taxable profit; and 
  *  investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the group is 
  able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable 
  that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. 
 
 
 
Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is 
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can 
be utilised. 
 
 
The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have 
been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected 
to apply when the deferred tax liabilities/(assets) are settled/(recovered). 
 
 
 
 
Financial Instruments 
Financial assets 
The group's financial assets, all of which are categorised as loans and 
receivables, comprise trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash 
equivalents. 
Trade and other receivables are measured initially at fair value and 
subsequently at amortised cost. Appropriate 
allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts are recognised in the income 
statement when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired. 
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand. Bank overdrafts are 
included within current liabilities unless there is a right of offset with cash 
balances. 
 
 
Financial liabilities 
The group's financial liabilities are recognised on initial recognition at fair 
value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method. The group's financial liabilities comprise trade and other 
payables, an invoice discounting facility, bank loans and overdrafts, finance 
lease arrangements and loan stock. 
 
 
Interest 
Interest payable is charged to the income statement as incurred. 
 
 
Invoice discounting 
The group discounts its trade receivables. The policy is to include trade 
receivables within current assets as trade receivables and to records cash 
advances within current liabilities as other financial liabilities. Discounting 
fees and interest are charged to the income statement when incurred as part of 
finance expense. Bad debts are borne by the group and are charged to the income 
statement when incurred as part of administrative expenses. 
 
 
Leased assets 
Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating 
to ownership (finance leases), the assets are treated as if they had been 
purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum 
lease payments payable over the term of the lease. The corresponding leasing 
commitments are shown as amounts payable to the lessor. Depreciation on the 
relevant assets is charged to the income statement. 
 
 
Lease payments are analysed between capital and interest components. The 
interest element of the payment is charged to the income statement over the 
period of the lease as part of finance expense and is calculated so that it 
represents a constant proportion of the balances of capital repayments 
outstanding. The capital element reduces the amounts payable to the lessor. 
 
 
All other leases are treated as operating leases. Their annual rentals are 
charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the 
lease. 
The land and building elements of property leases are considered separately for 
the purposes of lease classification. 
 
 
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. 
 
 
Share-based payments 
    Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options 
at the date of the grant is charged to the income statement over the vesting 
period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the 
number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so 
that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is 
based on the number of options that eventually vest. 
 
 
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the 
increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after 
the modification, is also charged to the income statement over the remaining 
vesting period. 
 
 
Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, the income 
statement is charged with the fair value of goods and services received.
