Interim results for the six months ended 30th June 2011
The significant increases in sales revenue achieved in recent years has
continued in the first six months of 2011, with sales revenue up by 16% from GBP
8.32m in 2010 to GBP9.66m in 2011.
Profit before tax rose from GBP396,000 to GBP427,000, an increase of 7.8%. We
believe this slower rate of growth stemmed from a relative fall in the gross
margin in turn caused primarily by a large jump in commodity prices.
The group was cash negative in the first six months as a result of increases in
debtors and inventories supporting the increase in sales revenue. The group
also continued to invest in capital machinery to improve the efficiency of the
manufacturing business.
Accordingly the directors have decided to maintain the interim dividend at the
same level as paid in 2010. A dividend of 2.40p per share will be paid on 14th
October 2011 to the Ordinary and `A' Ordinary shareholders on the register on
30th September 2011.
Performance of group companies
4B division
All the subsidiary companies within this division have continued to perform
well ahead of both the same period last year and above budget, although margins
have been eroded in some product lines due to the massive increase in the cost
of materials. Inevitably in a fiercely competitive market, it has been
difficult to gain full and immediate acceptance of these cost increases by
customers.
Pressings division
We are seeing increasing demand from existing contracts and have secured sales
for additional parts. However, in spite of the enormous efforts made by our
staff, we have continued to experience frustrating delays in the launch of
these critical new contracts. As a result of these costly delays, the
manufacturing business continues to lose money.
Outlook
The group as a whole has made a positive start in the first half of 2011,
although the world wide explosion in commodity prices has had a negative effect
on our margins and is creating instability and a general lack of confidence
among our customers.
Up to this point in time, we have been fortunate in that the bulk of the
group's sales are to the commercial agro market world wide and the strength of
this sector has sheltered us from the recession. However, we are now seeing the
first signs of a fall off in demand, even within this sector, caused by the
growing economic uncertainty and the increasing difficulty in securing finance
for projects.
In these circumstances, it is important that we improve our stock management
within the 4B division and that we eliminate the losses in the manufacturing
division by finally bringing the new contracts on stream.

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 2010 and those which management expects to apply in
the group's full financial statements to 31st December 2011.
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 2010 but is
derived from the accounts. Statutory accounts for the period ended 31st
December 2010 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 2010, 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 (2010 - 1,440,000). There are no potentially
dilutive shares in issue.
