("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 GBP 
7.77m in 2009 to GBP8.32m for 2010 and the company made a profit before tax for 
the first half of 2010 of GBP396,000 compared to GBP216,000 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. 
 
                                                                          2010
