Business Review
Financial performance
Group Profit before Taxation for the six-month period ended 31
March 2016 was GBP735,000 (2015: GBP792,000) on Revenues 1.4%
higher at GBP10,850,000 (2015: GBP10,699,000).
Earnings per share for the period were 4.55p (2015: 4.59p) and
the Directors have declared an unchanged interim dividend of 1.25p
per share (2015: 1.25p per share).
Net Cash Balances at 31 March 2016 were GBP2,458,000 (2015:
GBP2,413,000).
Trading commentary
It is disappointing to report a small fall in Group Profit
Before Tax for the six months ended 31(st) March 2016, down by
GBP57,000, although earnings per share for the period is only
fractionally behind last year's result. In summary our performance
in Korea has been lower than in the last period, the UK is largely
flat but the results from our US business have risen.
Our overall revenue has risen slightly by 1.4% against the last
period and we have seen sales rise in the UK marginally and a good
rise in the USA. However, we have seen a slight fall in sales in
Korea, down by about 2% in the period.
In the UK the performance of our Timber and PVCu Window and Door
Hardware division has been disappointing as both sales and profit
contribution have fallen below last year. There are a few one off
factors that have contributed to this and the contribution from the
new hardware products has continued to be disappointing but we are
committed to improve our performance here. The Aluminium division
has had a very good first half year with both sales and profits up.
In our Ventilation Systems Division we saw a very weak start to the
period in October 2015, which was echoed by other manufacturers in
the sector. Sales have recovered from then and by March 2016 sales
had largely recovered from the weak start, which is
encouraging.
Outside the UK Ventilation Systems Export sales have risen
strongly against the comparable period and we have now seen some
consistent customer purchasing, which is pleasing. Sales to our
Hardware customers in Europe have fallen slightly but sales by
Titon Inc. in the USA have grown helped by a contract to install
our products into a large refurbishment project. Our Titon Korea
sales are slightly below the prior period and the contribution from
Titon Korea has fallen due to lower transfer prices on sales to our
Associate, Browntech Sales ("BTS") and some higher administration
costs. BTS sales to customers are slightly in front of the prior
period as is the profit contribution from BTS.
Investor relations
I have thought for some time that Titon is "below the radar
screen" as far as the London stock market is concerned and I am
keen to change this to enhance Titon's value. Many shareholders
will be aware that in early 2016 we appointed Hardman & Co. to
write some research on Titon and to introduce the Company to a
range of institutional and high net worth investors. Hardman &
Co. published a comprehensive research report on Titon in March and
David Ruffell and I have met with a number of institutions since
then to introduce Titon to them. We also attended an investor
evening organised by Hardman where we presented Titon to about 50
largely high net worth investors. We will continue to "bang the
drum" for Titon in the second half year. If any shareholder would
like to read this research then please let me know.

Business Review (continued)
Prospects
We are now within 6 weeks of the referendum to decide if the
United Kingdom should remain within the EU and the decision will
have significant implications for the UK economy. If we remain in
the EU then a major source of uncertainty about the future will be
removed; if we vote to leave then the uncertainty we have now will
be magnified and will remain a significant risk for the economy for
several years to come, as has been pointed out by many
commentators. Markets generally prefer stability and we are the
same. This gives us, our customers and stakeholders a set of
familiar circumstances to make decisions, which is not the same as
certainty, I should add. Additionally, we want to continue to have
unrestricted access to EU markets both for our suppliers and
customers and we also want a good supply of people from Europe as
our own unemployment rate moves down towards 5% of the workforce.
Accordingly, it is difficult to make many predictions about our own
prospects in the UK with the current uncertainty, but the shortage
of housing in the UK will remain whatever the result of the
referendum. We do anticipate that sales of mechanical ventilation
systems will continue to expand in the second half.
In Korea, as we have previously indicated, we are expecting a
lower rate of growth for this year as competition increases.
However, we remain very positive about the Korean economy and have
agreed with BTS that they will continue to look for interesting
investments in the property sector. Elsewhere, we are expecting
good sales in the USA and Europe and will continue to devote more
resources to these markets.
Our balance sheet remains very strong and this gives us the
opportunity to invest in new products and a strong research and
development programme. I expect this to continue in the second half
year. We have a good team of people who work for Titon and I would
like to extend my thanks to all of them for the hard work and
dedication that they have made and continue to show.
Principal risk and uncertainties
The key financial and non-financial risks faced by the Group are
disclosed in the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year
ended 30 September 2015 within the Report on Risk Management (pages
9 to 13) available at www.titonholdings.com. The Board considers
that these remain a current reflection of the risks and
uncertainties facing the business. The Board also considers that it
is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing these financial statements and has not identified any
material uncertainties which would prevent us so doing.
Responsibility Statement
The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, this
condensed set of consolidated financial statements has been
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European
Union, and that this Interim Report includes a fair review of the
information required by DTR 4.2.7R and DTR 4.2.8R.
The Directors of Titon Holdings Plc are listed on page 15 of

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements
at 31 March 2016
1 Basis of preparation
Titon Holdings Plc (the 'Company') is a company domiciled in
England. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of
the Group for the six months ended 31 March 2016 comprise the
Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the
'Group').
The IASB has issued the following revised and updated IFRIC
amendments which have been adopted although, with the exception of
IFRSs 9 and 15 where the Group is still assessing the possible
future effect of these Standards, they have no impact on the
Group's reporting:
* Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle. These
amendments affect the following IFRSs - IFRS 2
Share-based Payment, IFRS 3 Business Combinations,
IFRS 8 Operating Segments, IFRS 13 Fair Value
Measurement, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment,
IAS 38 Intangible Assets, IAS 24 Related Party
Disclosures and IAS 38 Intangible Assets.
* Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle. These
amendments affect the following IFRSs: IFRS 1
First-time Adoption of International Financial
Reporting Standards, IFRS 3 Business Combinations,
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and IAS 40 Investment
Property.
* Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint
Operations: Amendments to IFRS 11. The amendments
require the acquirer of an interest in a joint
operation in which the activity constitutes a
business, as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations,
to apply all of the principles on business
combinations accounting in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs
except for those principles that conflict with the
guidance in IFRS 11. In addition, the acquirer shall
disclose the information required by IFRS 3 and other
IFRSs for business combinations.
* Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation
and Amortisation: Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38.
The amendment to IAS 16 clarifies that the use of
revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation
of an asset is not appropriate because revenue
generated by an activity that includes the use of an
asset generally reflects factors other than the
consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the
asset.
* Agriculture: Bearer Plants: Amendments to IAS 16 and
IAS 41. The amendments change the financial reporting
for bearer plants, such as grape vines, rubber trees
and oil palms.
* Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements
(Amendments to IAS 27). The amendments introduce an
option for an entity to account for its investments
in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates using
the equity method in its separate financial
statements. The accounting approach that is selected
is required to be applied for each category of
investment.
* Annual Improvements to IFRSs (2012-2014 Cycle). These
amendments affect the following IFRSs: IFRS 5
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations (Prospective application), IFRS 7
Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Retrospective
application), IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Beginning of
earliest period presented), IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting (Retrospective application).
* Disclosure Initiative: Amendments to IAS 1. The IASB
has issued amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements as part of an initiative to
improve presentation and disclosure in financial
reports.
* Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation
Exception (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS
28). The narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure
of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 28 Investments
in Associates and Joint Ventures introduce
clarifications to the requirements when accounting
for investment entities.
* IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. IFRS
15 is intended to clarify the principles of revenue
recognition and establish a single framework for
revenue recognition. IFRS 15 supersedes: IAS 11
Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13
Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for
the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers
of Assets from Customers and SIC-31 Revenue-Barter
Transactions Involving Advertising Services.
The core principle is that an entity should recognise revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
* IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. This IFRS replaces IAS
39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
in its entirety and uses a single approach to
determine whether a financial asset is measured at
amortised cost or fair value.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements
at 31 March 2016
1 Basis of preparation (continued)
Otherwise, the condensed interim financial statements have been
prepared using accounting policies set out in the Report and
Accounts 2015 and have been applied consistently to all periods
presented in these financial statements. They are in accordance
with IAS 34. The six months results for both 31 March 2015 and 2016
have neither been audited nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued
by the Auditing Practices Board. The financial information for the
year end 30 September 2015 does not constitute the full statutory
accounts for that period. The Company's Report and Accounts 2015
have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The independent
auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, did not draw
attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain a
statement under Section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act
2006.
The condensed interim financial statements do not constitute
full accounts within the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies
Act 2006.
The interim report was approved by the Board and authorised for
issue on 11 May 2016. Copies of the interim report will be sent to
shareholders in the next few weeks.
This statement is being sent to shareholders, will be available
on the Group's website at www.titonholdings.com and from the
Company's registered office at International House, Peartree Road,
Stanway, Colchester, Essex CO3 0JL.
2 Segment reporting
In identifying its operating segments, management generally
follows the Group's reporting lines, which represent the main
geographic markets in which the Group operates. The segment
reporting below is shown in a manner consistent with the internal
reporting provided to the Board, which is the Chief Operating
Decision Maker (CODM). These operating segments are monitored and
strategic decisions are made on the basis of segment operating
results.
The Group operates three main business segments which are:
Segment Activities undertaken include:
United Kingdom Sales of passive and powered ventilation products
to house builders, electrical contractors and window
and door manufacturers. In addition to this, it
is a leading supplier of window and door hardware.
South Korea Sales of passive ventilation products to construction
companies.
All other Sales of passive and powered ventilation products
countries to distributors, window manufacturers and construction
companies
Inter-segment revenue is transacted on an arm's length basis and
charged at prevailing market prices for a specific product and
market or cost plus where no direct comparative market price is
available. Segment results include items directly attributable to a
segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable
basis. Research and development entity-wide financial expenses are
not allocated to the business activities for which R&D is
specifically performed and it is not therefore reported as a
separate operating segment. Sales Administration and Other Expenses
are not currently allocated to operating segments in the Group's
reporting to the CODM, and Other Expenses include mainly central
and parent company overheads relating to group management, the
finance function and regulatory requirements.
The measurement policies the Group uses for segment reporting
under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in its financial
statements.
The total assets for the segments represent the consolidated
total assets attributable to these reporting segments. Parent
company results and consolidation adjustments reconciling the
segmental results and total assets to the consolidated financial
statements, are included within the United Kingdom segment figures
stated below.
