For release on 30 April 2009
Wren Homes Group Plc (WHG/L)
("Wren" or "the Group"),
Interim Results
for the Half Year Ended 31 January 2009
Wren Homes Group Plc, the AIM listed provider of retirement living, through a
range of Extra Care and other services for the independent elderly, announces
interim results for
the half year ended 31 January 2009.
· The global economy continues to suffer a very significant recession and
the property sector has been severely impacted within it. As a result
unfortunately, Wren has not been immune to these conditions and is disappointed
to report an interim loss for the period of GBP549,960 (2008: GBP269,730) on
turnover of GBP53,900 (2008: GBP84,000).
· However, against this backdrop, the Group has seen a tangible upturn in
customer interest since January 2009, with reductions in interest rates and in
Wren's case, commensurately, the reduction in mortgage rates resulting in a
corresponding pickup in demand for property sales and mortgage advances.
· Whilst this modest upturn is not reflected in Wren's interim trading
results, the Group has, during the first four months of 2009, sold or exchanged
contracts on the sale of five units from Wren's existing stock of property and
it has also received reservations over the same period on a further three
properties.
Brian Nathan, Chairman of Wren Homes Group Plc, commented:
"Whilst the global economy in general, and the UK's in particular, show few
signs of recovery, Wren itself is holding its own with a slight, albeit to Wren
significant, increase in sales of existing units. Further, it has already
received interest for its new Extra Care Schemes and the first one planned for
completion in Surrey in 2010 has received over 125 enquiries, without any
advertising.
Wren's challenge for the foreseeable future is to continue to identify good
sites and hold them under option at minimal cost, to obtain the necessary
planning consents for its Extra Care Schemes and to source the necessary finance
to acquire and develop such sites. Despite the challenges that 2009 may well
present, I look forward with cautious optimism."

WREN HOMES GROUP PLC
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
HALF YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2009
Trading Results
As Shareholders will be aware, the global economy continues to suffer one of the
worst recessions in living memory and the UK, and in particular the property
sector, is one of the worst affected within it.
There are, however, some recent signs of "small green shoots" to be slightly
more optimistic about, namely; the series of reductions in interest rates and in
our case, commensurately, the reduction in mortgage rates and the corresponding
pickup in demand for property sales and mortgage advances.
Whilst this has not had any impact on our trading results for the six months
under review, we have, during the first four months of 2009, sold or exchanged
contracts on the sale of five units from Wren's existing stock of property and
we have also received reservations over the same period on a further three
properties.
Yet again, for the six months ended 31 January 2009, I am disappointed to report
an interim loss of GBP549,960 (2008: GBP269,730) on a turnover of GBP53,900
(2008: GBP84,000).
Dividend
The Directors continue to take the prudent view, to preserve cash, that no
dividend (2008: 0.125p per share) is to be recommended until there is a marked
and sustained upturn in the property markets and a resultant return to
profitability.
Measures to Strengthen the Company
The policies outlined in my Chairman's Report in the annual report and accounts
for the year ended 31 July 2008 (announced 31 January 2009), of taking in
part-exchange properties, the appointment of several local firms of estate
agents and targeted advertising, coupled with a slight upturn in the market,
appears to be bearing fruit, as can be seen from the sales and reservations
referred to above in Trading Results.
Wren has implemented cost cutting measures wherever possible and the sales
outlined above will assist in materially reducing bank loans and subsequent
sales will generate working capital within the Company.
Extra Care Marketplace
Wren is nearing completion of its repositioning exercise to focus solely on the
Extra Care element of the retirement housing market, and to this end it has two
sites already with planning consent and another expected shortly, all for
developments of in excess of 50 units each. This move will position Wren between
the traditional retirement homes and the full care nursing homes and will offer
residents the best of both models, with independent living, but also the
opportunity to receive care based on individual needs.
The company will then be in a position to provide a wider range of services
including 24/7 staffing, restaurant, lounge/conservatory, coffee bar, activities
and treatment rooms, hair salon, laundry, etc, to support the "independent"
elderly, so that they may continue to live longer in the comfort and security of
their own homes.
WREN HOMES GROUP PLC
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT CONTINUED
Work-in-Progress & Land Bank
Wren continues to source new sites and to obtain appropriate Extra Care planning
consents on them, as well as securing the necessary funds to finance their
development. Wren currently has three sites for Extra Care schemes of over 50
units per site. Of these three sites, the Company owns one, one has had planning
granted and is under option and the third is under option and expected to
achieve planning shortly. The first of these, in Surrey, should be ready for
occupancy by Summer 2010.
The company continues to develop its land bank and "virtual land bank" for Extra
Care schemes (where the sites are held under minimal cost options until
acceptable planning consent is gained), a summary of which is set out below:
Units
Under Option and/or Planning Applied for 174
Planning Consent Granted/Owned 107
Planning expected imminently 53
Built & Completed for Sale (traditional flats and
sheltered housing apartments)
15
Total
349
Bank Support
The Group's Bank has confirmed that it intends to continue its banking and
financial relationship with Wren and at the time of writing sees no reason why
existing loans cannot be renegotiated and extended, with sufficient facilities
being made available to support the company. As per the normal course of
business, the Banking facilities will be subject to approval by the Bank's
Credit Committee.
Going Concern
As set out in the notes to the consolidated Interim Statement, the group's
working capital facility and loan agreements are currently being renegotiated
with its bankers. The Directors, after making appropriate enquiries, as
described in Note 1 to the preliminary announcement, believe that the Group,
with renegotiated loans and facilities, has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue
to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of these interim statements.
Outlook and Prospects
Whilst the global economy in general, and the UK's in particular, show few signs
of recovery, Wren itself is holding its own with a slight, albeit to Wren
significant, increase in sales of existing units. Further, it has already
received interest for its new Extra Care Schemes and the first one planned for
completion in Surrey in 2010 has received over 125 enquiries for 55 units,
without any advertising.
Wren's challenge for the foreseeable future is to continue to identify good
sites and hold them under option at minimal cost, to obtain the necessary
planning consents for its Extra Care Schemes and to source the necessary finance
to acquire and develop such sites. Despite the challenges that 2009 may well
present, I look forward with cautious optimism.

| | | | | |
+----+----------------------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| | The accounting policies used for the preparation of these condensed |
| | financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of |
| | computation as applied in the most recent financial statements and have |
| | been prepared under International Accounting Standards (IAS). |
+----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | |
+----+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | The Directors have projected cash flow information for the period to July |
| | 2011. In preparing these cash flows, the Directors are assessing on a |
| | regular basis the sales activity and costs of the business. On the basis |
| | of this cash flow information, the Directors are of the opinion that a |
| | working capital facility and development bank loans are required to fund |
| | new developments and running costs. In addition, there are loans and |
| | overdraft facilities of GBP4,802,188 which aredue for renewal during the |
| | ensuing year. The group is still in the process of renegotiating the |
| | facility and loans with the bank, and subsequent to recent meetings has |
| | correspondence from the bank indicating that the bank is expecting to |
| | continue its banking and financing relationship with the Group and that at |
| | the time of writing, saw no reason why existing loans could not be |
| | renegotiated and extended, with sufficient facilities made available to |
| | support the company, subject to approval by the Bank's Credit Committee. |
| | |
| | The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. |
| | This basis of preparation relies on the successful outcome of the renewal |
| | of the working capital facility and loans. The directors are confident of |
| | a successful outcome. Accordingly the directors consider that the going |
| | concern basis for the preparation of the condensed financial statements is |
| | appropriate. |

| | Loss per share requires presentation of diluted loss per share when a company |
| | could be called upon it issue shares that would decrease net profits or |
| | increase net loss per share. For a loss making company with outstanding share |
| | options, net loss per share would only be decreased by the exercise of |
| | out-of-the-money share options. No adjustment has been made to dilute loss |
| | per share for out-of-the-money share option and there are no other diluting |
| | future share issues, therefore diluted loss per share is identical to the |
| | basis loss per share. |

| 3. | Goodwill |
+----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | |
+----------+------------------+----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+----------------+
| | The group conducts annual impairment tests of the carrying value of goodwill, |
| | based on the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (CGU), of which the |
| | Group only has one. |
| | The recoverable amounts for the cash-generating units are determined from value |
| | in use calculations. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are |
| | those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected changes to selling |
| | prices and direct costs during the period. Management estimates discount rates |
| | using pre-tax rates that reflect the current market assessments of the time |
| | value of money and the risks specific to the cash-generating unit. The growth |
| | rates are based on industry growth forecasts. Changes in selling prices and |
| | direct costs are based on past practices and expectations of future changes in |
| | the market. |
| | The group prepares cash flow forecasts derived from the most recent financial |
| | budgets approved by management for the next two years and extrapolates cash |
| | flows for the following five years based on the development of the company's |
| | property portfolio. This rate does not exceed the average long term growth rate |
| | for the relevant markets. The approved cash flow projections in the two |
| | financial years following this year reflect management's expectation of the |
| | performance of the CGU and growth prospects in the Extra Care retirement sector. |
| | Whilst these cash flows do show the value in use is in excess of the carrying |
| | value of the goodwill, there are uncertainties as to the assumption used in the |
| | calculation and to the performance of the business and developments due to the |
| | current economic environment. |
