                BCB HOLDINGS LIMITED ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE 
                      NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 
 
Belize City, Belize, February 26, 2010 -- BCB Holdings Limited (London - AIM - 
BCB; Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange - BCBTT; Bermuda - BBHL) (the "Company") 
reported net income of $15.3m (2008 -- $16.3m) for the quarter ended December 
31, 2009, the third quarter of fiscal 2010. 
 
Earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $0.15 (2008 -- 
$0.28). 
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 the Company reported net income of 
$43.3m (2008 -- $52.3m). Earnings per share for the nine months ended December 
31, 2009 was $0.46 (2008 -- $0.88). 
 
Commenting on corporate performance, Chairman, Lord Ashcroft, KCMG, said: 
 
"The weak economic environment in Belize and the Turks and Caicos Islands 
continues to adversely affect the performance of the Financial Services 
businesses. There are no indications at this time of an economic recovery in 
either jurisdiction. Financial Services operating income is down from 2008 
principally due to the increasing level of non-performing loans" 
 
"The Company's share of our associate Numar's income was $5.1 million compared 
with $6.5 million in 2008. After a significant drop in market prices during 
2008, prevailing palm oil prices showed some recovery in early 2009 and have 
remained relatively stable since then." 
 
"Earnings per share of $0.15 is down due to lower earnings and the dilutive 
effect of the shares issued on the acquisition of Cockleshell Limited in May 
2009"
