  In a statement, the group's chairman, Sir John Collins, said that "The reduction in laptop stocks that arose out of disappointing sales of VISTA related products and a changing sales mix have reduced gross margins by around 2% in the computing division, impacting Group profits by around £20 million in the first half.
  
  He added that "Stocks are now at normal levels and we expect to recover some of the lost margin through the second half."

  Speaking at the Society's 143rd Annual General Meeting held today (Thursday 26th April) Mr. John Collins, Chairman, stated that the Society's mortgage book increased from €5.2bn in 2005 to €6.2bn in 2006.
  
  "In 2006, the Society delivered another excellent performance in what was a year of significant competitive activity in the marketplace. The Society's profits before tax increased by nearly 14% to almost €129m, our new mortgage lending also increased by 14% to €2.0bn and our mortgage book increased by 20% to €6.2bn". Mr Collins added.
  
  Profit growth was also driven by a further improvement in the society's cost income ratio, which fell from 20.3% in 2005 to 19.1% in 2006. Commenting on this Mr Collins stressed that the improvement was achieved through efficiencies. "Importantly, these cost efficiencies have been achieved while maintaining the excellent quality of customer service that has been a cornerstone of the Society's business for many years."
  
  Commenting on rising interest rates and the impact that this is having on the mortgage market Mr Collins said "We have seen a slowdown in property price inflation in recent months and, following a 10-year period in which average prices have increased by circa 15% per annum, we expect prices to increase by circa 3% in 2007. This is good news for house buyers, especially first time buyers and represents the soft landing that we have been predicting."
  
  While stating that rising interest rates have also led to a slowdown in market demand for new mortgages in recent months Mr Collins stated that the outlook for the market is positive.
