Creston profit boosted by exceptional £4.8m gain

Over 40% of the £11 million pre-tax profit reported today by Creston was derived from a reduction in the estimated deferred consideration payable for previously acquired companies.  Without that credit, the pre-tax profit for the year to 31 March 2012 would have been just £6.1 million compared with £8.4 million from continuing activities in the previous year.
