Disposal and Trading Update
The Food and Drink Group plc announces that it has completed the disposal of its
leasehold bar in Maddox Street, London, for net cash consideration of �0.6m. The
disposal proceeds will be used to reduce the Group's net debt and will also
result in a profit on disposal of the site in the region of �0.2m. The site made
no contribution to profitability last year and it is not expected that the
disposal will result in a material change in the profitability of the Company in
the current year.
The Group has experienced worsening trading conditions over the last two months
and whilst performance is anticipated to improve during the historically strong
summer trading period, it is expected that performance will be significantly
below market expectation for the financial year ending 27 September 2008.
