Half-yearly Report
T.F. & J.H. BRAIME (HOLDINGS) P.L.C.
("Braime" or the "company")
Interim results for the six months ended 30th June 2010
Group sales revenue for the first six months of 2009 increased by 7% from £
7.77m in 2009 to £8.32m for 2010 and the company made a profit before tax for
the first half of 2010 of £396,000 compared to £216,000 in 2009 for the same
period.
The directors have decided to pay an interim dividend of 2.40p per share on
15th October 2010 to the Ordinary and `A' Ordinary shareholders whose names are
on the register on 1st October 2010. This compares to the interim dividend of
1.50p paid on 16th October 2009.
Performance of group companies
4B division
The subsidiary companies comprising this division enjoyed a successful start to
the year and, taken together, produced results above both last year and budget.
Our US subsidiary had a particularly good first six months.
The profitability of this division continued to benefit from favourable
exchange rates and from the continuing expansion of our product range.
Pressings division
The fundamental restructuring of the manufacturing business in 2009 has
resulted in a substantial reduction in the level of losses in this division,
although the result for the first six months fell short of budget.
Sales volumes of existing contracts were well ahead of expectations but the
benefit of this contribution was offset by delays in the start up of new
contracts, due largely to late changes by customers in product specification.
We now have full approval for the components required for the second new major
contract and start up of full production is scheduled for the beginning of
November 2010. Launch of the third major new product line is on target for
January 2011.
In 2010 huge progress has been made in continuing the modernisation of the
factory and the installation of new product lines. This has been achieved by a
very small management and maintenance team.
Outlook
The positive start made by the 4B division has continued into the second half
and, providing exchange rates remain at current levels, we would expect to
maintain the progress achieved in recent years.
The result for the full year in the pressings division very much rests on the
successful start up of the second major contract in November.

Notes to the interim financial report
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The interim financial report has been prepared using accounting policies that
are consistent with those used in the preparation of the full financial
statements to 31st December 2009 and those which management expects to apply in
the group's full financial statements to 31st December 2010.
This interim financial report is unaudited. The comparative financial
information set out in this interim financial report does not constitute the
group's statutory accounts for the period ended 31st December 2009 but is
derived from the accounts. Statutory accounts for the period ended 31st
December 2009 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors
have reported on those accounts. Their audit report was unqualified and did not
contain any statements under Section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The group's condensed interim financial information has been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (`IFRS') as adopted
for the use in the European Union and in accordance with IAS 34 `Interim
Financial Reporting' and the accounting policies included in the Annual Report
for the year ended 31st December 2009, which have been applied consistently
throughout the current and preceding periods.
2. Earnings per share and dividends
Both the basic and diluted earnings per share have been calculated using the
net results attributable to shareholders of T.F. & J.H. Braime (Holdings)
P.L.C. as the numerator.
The weighted average number of outstanding shares used for basic earnings per
share amounted to 1,440,000 (2009 - 1,440,000). There are no potentially
dilutive shares in issue.
