HALF-YEARLY REPORT 2009 
 
 
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
Braemar Group plc ("Braemar" or "the Group") is pleased to announce its 
unaudited half-yearly report for the six months ended 30 September 2009, during 
which time the Group has further increased its funds under management and 
achieved turnover and recurring income growth. 
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW 
The unaudited results for the six months to 30 September 2009 report revenue of 
GBP1,439,000 (30 September 2008: GBP1,267,000) and a loss before tax of 
GBP109,000 (30 September 2008 GBP58,000 loss), which was in line with the 
Directors' expectations. 
Recurring income has increased to GBP545,000 (30 September 2008: GBP308,000). 
With the reduction in administration expenses to GBP862,000 (30 September 2008: 
GBP894,000), recurring income for the period covered 63% of administration 
expenses (30 September 2008: 34%), demonstrating significant progress in 
management's medium term goal of recurring income covering administration 
expenses in full. This can be achieved by continuing to focus on building the 
size of each existing fund, on which the Group earns recurring income in both 
divisions, and gain the benefit of economies of scale on the performance of both 
the Group and each fund. 
Cash balances and cash equivalents at the period end were GBP478,000, (30 
September 2008: GBP230,000) and the total equity of the Group stood at 
GBP2,673,000 (30 September 2008: GBP2,668,000). 
BUSINESS REVIEW 
The business is monitored internally by the performance of the two operating 
divisions and the highlights for the period under review are as follows: 
Braemar Securities 
Braemar Securities' revenue for the period was GBP923,000 (30 September 2008: 
GBP633,000). 
 
 
We have further diversified our range of funds to include Ground Rents, launched 
during the summer, adding to the existing Agricultural Land and Student 
Accommodation funds. All three funds take the form of Guernsey registered Open 
Ended Investment Companies ("OEICs"). Our funds under management  increased by 
18% during the last six months to GBP46m, the impact of which is reflected in 
the growth in recurring income. 
 
 
The OEICs are promoted to independent financial advisers by Braemar Securities 
and a number of independent introducers, who share in the initial commissions 
charged by the division. These charges and other direct marketing costs have 
absorbed a significant proportion of the initial commissions earned, resulting 
in an increase in cost of sales. The corresponding growth in funds under 
management will benefit the Group in the longer term due to the increase in 
recurring income from these funds. 
 
 
The adverse stock market conditions impacted the fundraising for Braemar UK 
Agricultural Land plc and the decision was taken to abort its admission to AIM. 
All the abort costs were absorbed by Braemar UK Agricultural Land plc. 
 
 
Braemar Estates 
Braemar Estates' revenue for the period was GBP484,000 (30 September 2008: 
GBP595,000). 
 
 
Our property management division, which is now responsible for the management of 
over GBP300m of assets, representing some 2,800 apartments, has proved resilient 
during the wider property downturn, particularly as our activities are limited 
to the management or refurbishment of assets we own, assets in funds we manage 
and third party owned freeholds. The division also acts as Property Adviser to 
two of our three OEICs and we expect margins to improve accordingly, as the 
division has the capacity to grow without incurring significant additional 
costs. 
 
 
The fall in revenue for this division is attributable to a reduction in one-off 
fees earned from the Coronation residential property partnerships from finder's 
fees and the supervision of the development of property in the partnerships as 
these funds become fully invested. 
 
 
Conversion of loan notes into equity 
 
 
The conversion of some of the convertible loan notes reduced Braemar's debt by 
GBP200,000; enhancing net assets by the same amount and results in a saving in 
interest costs of approximately GBP20,000 over the next 18 months. 
 
 
OUTLOOK 
The Directors are pleased with the progress that has been made during the first 
half of the year. In particular, the growth in recurring income demonstrates 
what can be achieved from growth in funds under management while keeping costs 
under control. There are no immediate plans for further fund launches, the focus 
being on building the size of each of the existing OEICs and taking control of 
the management of the assets within the funds. 
 
 
The Directors look forward to reporting further improvements in the Group's 
performance in the second half.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEARLY REPORT 
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2009 
 
1 -       BASIS OF PREPARATION 
 
The half-yearly report has been prepared in accordance with the AIM rules and 
the basis of accounting policies set out in the accounts for the year to 31 
March 2009 and on the basis of all International Financial Reporting Standards 
("IFRS") that are expected to be applicable to the Group's statutory accounts 
for the year ended 31 March 2010, except as disclosed below. If any amendments, 
new standards or new interpretations are issued these may require the financial 
information provided in the half-yearly report to be changed. 
These financial statements are the first produced under the amended requirements 
of IAS 1 (Revised) "Presentation of Financial Statements" and the updated 
presentation has been applied to current year and comparative figures. The 
changes are only in presentation and disclosure and have had no impact on the 
reported financial results in any period. 
The Directors have chosen not to comply with IAS 34, "Interim Financial 
Reporting" as adopted by the EU. Accordingly, the half-yearly reports do not 
comply with all the disclosures in IAS 34 on interim reporting and therefore are 
not in full compliance with IFRS. 
The amounts in the half-yearly report for the periods ended 30 September 2009 
and 2008 are unaudited. The amounts in this report for the year ended 31 March 
2009 are extracted from the audited statutory accounts for that period and as 
such are not the company's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those 
accounts have been reported on by the company's auditors and delivered to the 
Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors was (i) unqualified, (ii) did 
not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by 
way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a 
statement under section 237 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
