In a pre-close trading statement released on Tuesday 12 December, the Leeds-based transactional print and print management giant said it had incurred one-off costs in Q4 of around 1.4m related to its sale talks.
It also said like-for-like turnover in 2005 would be lower than the 2004 total of 269.7m, while the trade dip since September has been "in line with expectations".
