Interim Results

Braime (T.F.& J.H.) (Hldgs) PLC 20 September 2006 Sales of £5.21m for the first six months of 2006 were almost unchanged compared to the same period of 2005 (£5.14m). However, the operating loss increased from £104,000 in 2005 to £225,000 in 2006 and after adjusting for finance costs, the net group loss increased from £81,000 to £218,000. The directors have decided that, in these circumstances, it is not possible to pay an interim dividend. The unsatisfactory result is due to the continuing losses sustained by our manufacturing business. During the first half of 2006, a significant restructuring program, regrettably including redundancies, has been undertaken to reduce the overhead costs of Braime Pressings Limited. Two substantial long term contracts for new presswork have been secured. Supplies to one of the new customers began in mid July. In the case of the second customer, tooling orders were placed in early September and production is due to commence in March/April 2007. The combined effect of the reduction in our overhead costs and the contribution from the additional work will return the group to profit in 2007, providing the other subsidiaries continue to trade satisfactorily.
