Braime (T.F.& J.H.) (Hldgs) PLC20 September 2006 Sales of £5.21m for the first six months of 2006 were almost unchanged comparedto 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, thenet group loss increased from £81,000 to £218,000. The directors have decidedthat, in these circumstances, it is not possible to pay an interim dividend. The unsatisfactory result is due to the continuing losses sustained by ourmanufacturing business. During the first half of 2006, a significant restructuring program, regrettablyincluding redundancies, has been undertaken to reduce the overhead costs ofBraime Pressings Limited. Two substantial long term contracts for new pressworkhave been secured. Supplies to one of the new customers began in mid July. Inthe case of the second customer, tooling orders were placed in early Septemberand production is due to commence in March/April 2007. The combined effect ofthe reduction in our overhead costs and the contribution from the additionalwork will return the group to profit in 2007, providing the other subsidiariescontinue to trade satisfactorily.
