Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis. Segment results,
assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as
well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 
 
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to
acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one period.

2. SPECIAL ITEMS 
 
In order for users of the financial statements to better understand the
underlying performance of the Group the Board have separately disclosed
transactions which by virtue of their size or incidence, are considered to be
one off in nature. In addition the charge for share based payments,
amortisation of intangible assets acquired and non cash pension transactions
have also been separately identified. 
 
Special items include

Special items are disclosed separately on the basis that this presentation
gives a clearer picture of the underlying performance of the Group.  Special
items comprise two elements: 
 
-           Items which are expected to be one-off in nature and are
considered significant to the result of the group or one of its reporting
segments; and 
 
-           Non-cash items which, given the scale of our current activities,
represent a disproportionate share of the Group's result.  Examples include
the credit arising on the pension surplus share based payments and the
amortisation of intangible assets. 
 
During the year the Group incurred further costs with regard to the
reorganisation of TYKMA Inc and the integration of the Electrox Laser marking
division. Redundancy exercises were carried out in the UK during the year.
Property disposals in the UK also resulted in the profit of £114k. Costs were
also incurred relating to the refinancing carried out in the UK during the
year. 
 
Costs were also incurred with regard to the granting of share options.

5. Earnings per share 
 
The calculation of the basic earnings per share of 1.97p (2016: 1.26p) is
based on the earnings for the financial period attributable to the Parent
Company's shareholders of a profit of £2,059,000 (2016: £1,157,000) and on the
weighted average number of shares in issue during the period of 104,357,957
(2016: 91,684,103). At 1 April 2017, there were 6,650,000 (2016: 6,150,000)
potentially dilutive shares on option with a weighted average effect of
303,255 (2016: 583,333) shares giving a diluted earnings per share of 1.96p
(2016: 1.25p)

9. ACQUISITION 
 
There have been no changes in the year to the fair value of net assets
acquired, and therefore no change in the goodwill arising of £7,144,000. 
 
During the prior year the final 20% of the issued share capital of TYKMA Inc.
was acquired. The original acquisition of 80% of the issued share capital of
TYKMA Inc. included put and call options for the remaining 20% between the
group and the vendor which had a value at March 2015 of £4.1m. During the
prior year the value was remeasured to £2.1m and was settled at this amount.
The settlement comprised of US$1.8m and the issue of 12m ordinary shares in
the Group with a value at that time of £0.9m. The gain of £2,032,000 was
included as a special item given its size and nature. 
 
10. Alternative performance measures 
 
The Directors assess the performance of the Group by a number of measures and
frequently present results on an 'underlying' basis, which excludes special
items. The Directors believe the use of these 'non-GAAP measures' provide a
better understanding of underlying performance of the Group. 
 
In the review of performance  refererence is made to 'underlying profit' or
'profit before special items', and in the Consolidated Income Statement  the
Group's results are analysed between Before Special items and After Special
items. 
 
Special items are detailed in note 2, and are disclosed separately on the
basis that this presentation gives a clearer picture of the underlying
performance of the group.  Special items comprise two elements: 
 
-           Items which are expected to be one-off in nature and are
considered significant to the result of the group or one of its reporting
segments; and 
 
-           Non-cash items which, given the scale of our current activities,
represent a disproportionate share of the Group's result.  Examples include
the credit arising on the pension surplus share based payments and the
amortisation of intangible assets. 
 
These measures are used by the Board to assess performance, form the basis of
bonus incentives and are used in the Group's banking covenants. In addition
the Board makes reference to orders and order book or backlog. This represents
orders received from customers for goods and services and the amount of such
orders not yet fulfilled.
