INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2009 CBG Group plc ("CBG" or the "Group") a leading independent advisory business providing insurance broking, employee benefits, wealth management and specialist sports injury insurance services to companies and private clients, is pleased to announce interim results for the six months to 30 June 2009.

The recent period has seen earnings decline in many lines of business and, as a result, we have put in place a significant cost reduction programme which has been focused on the reorganisation of core functions. "The current stage of the market cycle and broker consolidation is without doubt driving systemic change in the industry. Major consolidators have capitalised on soft market conditions to fully leverage their scale. CBG remains committed to growth and we are confident that focusing management time on business processes will provide a secure platform to take advantage when market conditions change." =--ends--- Enquiries: +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | CBG Group plc | 0161 920 0200 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Mike Askew, Group Managing Director | 07720 400356 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Laurie Turnbull, Chairman | 07768 641141 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | www.cbg-group.co.uk | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Bishopsgate Communications Ltd | 020 7562 3350 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Nick Rome | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Gemma O'Hara | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Zeus Capital | 0161 831 1512 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Alex Clarkson | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Bobby Fletcher | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Religare Hichens, Harrison plc | 020 7382 4472 | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | Nicholas Malins-Smith | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | James Wood | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ | | | +--------------------------------------------------+--------------------------+ Notes to Editors: CBG Group plc, listed on AiM (Ticker: CB.) is a corporately active business with its head office in Manchester, employing more than 145 people. It's core operating businesses are regulated by the Financial Services Authority providing a full advisory service in insurance, employee benefits, wealth management and specialist sports insurance to SME's, private clients and professional sportsmen. Since becoming a public listed company in 2003 it has completed 18 acquisitions and has an impressive record of delivering substantial profits year on year. Further information is available on CBG Group at the Group's website: www.cbg-group.co.uk Chairman's Statement I am delighted to present another strong set of interim results, for the six months ended 30 June 2009, despite the unparalleled market conditions. The Group has yet again produced a substantial profit, which is especially pleasing in the face of revenues moderated by the economic downturn. All parts of the economy are experiencing significant external pressures and our sector has not been untouched by the severe financial conditions. However, the proactive and positive actions we have taken over the years, by integrating acquisitions at an early stage and maintaining a management structure have clearly helped. We remain firmly focused on delivering service to our clients in the most efficient manner, enabling us to partially mitigate the effects that we have seen in our industry. We have undoubtedly been able to benefit from strong foundations, enabling us to immediately focus our efforts internally on establishing a cost and service base to suit the market conditions. This is at the same time as ensuring that we remain in the forefront of winning new business, and providing a competitive service to our extensive client base. In January 2009 we consolidated three Manchester offices with little disruption to the business. The move to Southmoor House allowed us to pick up the pace of our consolidation programme, introducing a number of actions including a cost reduction programme and an income management strategy. The project included a comprehensive IT review, on all sides of the business, extending into the infrastructure and broking platforms that are essential to deliver service and long-term efficiencies. To conclude this project, as we rapidly entered a recession, clearly demonstrates that we will continue to drive the business forward, and with a willingness to take long term decisions that deliver value for the years ahead. We have only seen some of the beneficial effects of this programme on these interim results, and the full impact will only be clearly visible in the second half of 2009 and forward into 2010. Trading Although in the first half of 2009 there has been very little change in the general insurance market, the increasing number of corporate failures made the landscape very unpredictable. These widespread failures have started to slow down and we may indeed be seeing the first signs of a hardening market. The financial services division has seen much of its recurring income eroded by the sustained fall in fund values and has probably suffered the most from the lack of UK investment, particularly in the property market. In May 2009 we entered into a strategic partnership with Close Premium Finance Limited ("CPF") to outsource the funding of our premium finance business traded under Exius Limited. CPF was selected for a number of reasons, although central to this decision was their technical expertise and financial stability. The "white label solution" allows synergistic benefits to be enhanced, which will have the effect of reducing our working capital requirements in the second half of this year, whilst simplifying and complementing our banking facilities. We have set ourselves clear objectives in the short and medium terms and remain focused on managing long-term profitability. To achieve this we recognise that we must continue to provide our clients with a professional and cost-effective service expected of a well-organised business. People In February 2009 the Group's Investor in People accreditation was successfully renewed for a further three years, demonstrating our commitment to all our staff and recognising the development and aspirations of individuals. The Board actively encourages the policy of building and maintaining a broad skill base with specific expertise in important areas of our business. We operate a clear policy of promoting from within but have also strengthened our teams with senior management from our recent acquisitions, creating an excellent balance, and adding greatly to our resources. We also believe it is imperative in these recessionary times to have experience of previous economic downturns and recoveries throughout our executive team, and it is to this end that I am pleased to announce that notwithstanding our former intentions Stuart Mollekin remains in an executive capacity, his management skills being invaluable to the Group. Prospects I am confident that the Group is well prepared for the current market conditions and will react quickly and decisively to changes, which we all hope will be an end to recessionary times. An economic recovery is outside our control, but we will continue to influence and control those aspects of our business that we are able to. This should ensure that we continue to operate profitably and efficiently to the mutual benefit of our shareholders, employees and clients.

Nature of operations and general information CBG Group plc ("CBG") and subsidiaries' (together the "Group") principal activities are those of insurance broker, financial advisor and premium finance provider, providing advice on insurance cover, pensions and employee benefits to predominantly small and medium sized companies operating in the UK. The Group also provides a range of wealth management and personal high net worth insurances for company directors, senior executives and business owners. Refer to note 3 for further information about CBG's operating segments. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 August 2009. Copies of this statement will be sent to shareholders shortly and are available to the public from the Registered Office at: Southmoor House, Southmoor Road, Manchester, M23 9XD. 2. Basis of preparation These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 30 June 2009. They have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2008. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the interim financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the last annual financial statements for the year to 31 December 2008 except for the adoption of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (Revised 2007) and IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The adoption of IAS 1 (Revised 2007) does not affect the financial position or profits of the Group, but gives rise to additional disclosures. The measurement and recognition of the Group's assets, liabilities, income and expenses is unchanged. IAS 1 (Revised 2007) affects the presentation of changes in equity and in accordance with the new standard the entity does not present a "Statement of recognised income and expenses", however a "Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity" is presented. The adoption of IFRS 8 has not changed the segments that are disclosed in the interim financial statements.

Earnings per share The calculation of basic earnings per share for the half year ended 30 June 2009 is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of GBP120,000 (2008 half year: 661,000; 2008 full year: GBP626,000) divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue of 15,517,653 (2008 half year: 13,911,777; 2008 full year: 14,454,978). The adjusted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders, after adding back amortisation, exceptional operating expenses, share option charges and reflecting a normal tax charge of 28% (2008 half year: 30%; 2008 full year: 28.5%) as follows: +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | Half Year | Half Year | Year | +----------------------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------+ | | to 30/06/09 | to 30/06/08 | to 31/12/08 | +----------------------------------+------------------+------------------+------------------+ | | GBP'000 | Pence | GBP'000 | Pence | GBP'000 | Pence | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | Profit retained for the year | 120 | 0.78 | 661 | 4.75 | 626 | 4.33 | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | Amortisation | 365 | 2.35 | 295 | 2.12 | 675 | 4.67 | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | Exceptional operating charges | 74 | 0.48 | 13 | 0.09 | 418 | 2.89 | | and negative goodwill credited | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | Share option charge | 30 | 0.19 | 28 | 0.20 | 60 | 0.42 | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | Adjustment to reflect an ongoing | (128) | (0.83) | (111) | (0.79) | (161) | (1.12) | | tax charge of 28% (2008 half | | | | | | | | year: 30%; 2008 full year: | | | | | | | | 28.5%) | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | Adjusted earnings per share | 461 | 2.97 | 886 | 6.37 | 1,618 | 11.19 | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | Diluted adjusted earnings per | 461 | 2.93 | 886 | 6.26 | 1,618 | 11.00 | | share | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ | | | | | | | | +----------------------------------+---------+--------+---------+--------+---------+--------+ At 30 June 2009 there were 533,750 (2008 half year: 839,250; 2008 full year: 805,250) share options in issue of which 194,200 (2008 half year: 246,261; 2008 full year: 254,548) were dilutive potential ordinary shares on a weighted average during the period. There were also 146,667 (2008 half year: nil; 2008 full year: 292,362) shares to be issued in respect of deferred consideration for acquisitions made during or prior to the current year, and there were nil (2008 half year: nil; 2008 full year: nil) dilutive potential ordinary shares on average during the period. At 30 June 2009, there were therefore a total of 194,200 (2008 half year: 246,261; 2008 full year: 254,548) dilutive potential ordinary shares on average during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the period ended 30 June 2009 is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of GBP120,000 (2008 half year: GBP661,000; 2008 full year: GBP626,0000) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares in issue of 15,711,853 (2008 half year: 14,158,038; 2008 full year: 14,709,526). 6.
