Interim Management Statement

29 July 2009

Thirty Nine Week Period ended 28 June 2009
Brewin Dolphin Holdings PLC announces its Interim Management Statement (IMS) as required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency rules.

Income for the third quarter to 28 June 2009 is £51.4 million, broadly the same as the comparative period last year (27 June 2008: £51.3 million) and in line with the Board's expectations. Income for the thirty nine weeks to 28 June 2009 is £156.2 million (27 June 2008: £155.4 million).

During the period funds under management declined by 5.9% to £17.6 billion. Discretionary funds under management have fallen by only 1% against a drop in the FTSE 100 Index of 16.7% and a fall in the FTSE APCIMS Private Investor Balanced Portfolio Index of 10.4%.

Two new offices are opening this summer, taking the Group to a total of 40 branches across the UK. One in Truro, with a team of six investment managers and their support staff, will extend the Group's reach in the West Country. The other in Brighton will be joined by our long established Eastbourne office, making up a twenty strong team.

The core business has held up well against the market back drop and Investment Banking has shown some improvement. The Group continues to have a strong balance sheet with firm's net cash balance of £38.5 million (27 June 2008: £43.0 million).
