Lees grew sales by 13% to £18.2m in 2009. Pre-exceptional profits jumped from £379,000 to £843,000. There was a £230,000 charge for the restructuring of the board. There was £2.08m in the bank at the end of 2009. The dividend was increased from 6.7p a share to 7.2p a share.

The interim figures will be published on 29 September.
