·      The Group has progressed discussions  with several providers of finance 
necessary for the Group to roll out its first Extra Care scheme

Brian Nathan, Chairman of Wren Extra Care Group Plc, commented: 
"Whilst the global economy in general, and the UK's in particular, show few 
signs of recovery, Wren appears to be holding its own, with over a hundred 
significant potential purchasers of Warlingham Two (our first Extra Care scheme 
of 54 units due to complete in 2011)" 
 
"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 2010 may well 
present, I look forward with cautious optimism."

WREN EXTRA CARE GROUP PLC 
 
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
HALF YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2010 
 
Trading Results 
 
The global economy continues to suffer from a severe and prolonged recession, 
but there are signs that this has bottomed out. 
 
Whereas it is frustrating to have to report yet again a loss on minimal 
turnover, the encouraging news is that Wren has emerged from this deep recession 
with an enhanced land bank and a superior business model, Wren Extra Care, which 
has been recognised by financial institutions and others as leading the way 
forwards in the provision of housing for the elderly. As a result the company 
changed its name to Wren Extra Care Group Plc during the period, to more 
accurately reflect the nature of the Wren Business. 
 
It is possible to be slightly more optimistic about the property market and the 
residential property market in particular with continuing low interest and 
mortgage rates and the corresponding pickup in demand for property sales, prices 
and mortgage advances. 
 
The company has also progressed discussions with several potential providers of 
finance for its schemes. The company has optimism about concluding these 
discussions but there can be no guarantee at this time that they will be 
concluded successfully. 
Wren has continued to implement cost cutting measures during the period wherever 
possible and these steps, together with subsequent sales, will assist in 
reducing bank indebtedness. 
 
 For the six months ended 31 January 2010, I am disappointed to report an 
interim loss of GBP539,328 (2009: GBP549,960) on revenues of GBPNil (2009: 
GBP53,900). 
 
Dividend 
 
The Directors continue to take the prudent view, to preserve cash, that no 
dividend (2009: Nil) is to be paid until there is a marked and sustained upturn 
in the property markets and a resultant return to profitability. 
 
Extra Care Marketplace 
 
Wren has completed its repositioning exercise to focus on the Extra Care element 
of the retirement housing market, and to this end, it has three sites already 
with planning consent and others sites in the planning process, all for 
developments of in excess of 50 units each. This move aims to position Wren 
between the traditional retirement homes and the full care nursing home and will 
offer residents the best of both models, with independent living, but also the 
opportunity to receive care based on individual needs. Wren's Extra Care is at 
the forefront of the second generation of retirement housing. 
 
The Company will then be in a position to provide a wider range of services, 
including 24/7 staffing, restaurant, lounge/conservatory, bistro, 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 expects to be in a position to start construction of the first of its Extra 
Care Schemes within the next few months. 
 
Capital investment 
 
On 1 December 2009 the Company has secured an equity draw-down facility of up to 
GBP3m, which is intended to be utilised as a standby facility to provide for 
additional working capital and to enable the Group to be able to take advantage 
of potential opportunities, as and when they arise. 
 
Work-in-Progress & Land Bank 
 
The Company continues to develop its land bank and "virtual land bank" for 
retirement housing schemes (where the sites are held under minimal cost options 
until suitable planning consent is gained) a summary of which is set out below: 
Units 
 
Planning Consent Granted/Owned                       169 
Planning expected imminently                               94 
Built & Completed for Sale (traditional flats & 
Sheltered housing apartments)                               9 
New site being worked up/optioned                      258 
                                                                        ------ 
Total                                                                 530 
                                                                        === 
This progress only serves to underline the effectiveness and determination of 
Wren's small and dedicated team of staff and quite clearly adds significant but 
undisclosed value to its business. 
Bank Support 
 
On 26 January 2010 the Group's bank confirmed that it intends to continue its 
banking and financial relationship with Wren and at the time of writing they saw 
no reason why existing loans cannot be renegotiated and extended, with 
sufficient facilities being made available to support the company.  The banking 
facilities will be subject to the normal course of business. Current facilities 
are due for renewal on 30 April 2010. 
 
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 these interim results, 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 
 
Wren itself is holding its own with a slight, albeit to Wren significant, 
increase in sales of existing units. Further, it has already received very 
encouraging interest for its new Extra Care Schemes and the first one planned 
for completion in Surrey in 2011 has received over 100 written enquiries for the 
54 units, without any advertising. 
 
Wren's challenge for the foreseeable future, having identified and optioned a 
number of good sites, for which some already have the requisite planning 
consent, is to complete the funding packages necessary to acquire and build 
these schemes. Despite the challenges that 2010 may well hold, I look forward 
with cautious optimism.

|  | adopted by the European Union (EU) and as are effective or   | 
|  | are expected to be effective as at 27 March 2010.They do not |

|  | the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the   | 
|  | year ended 31 July 2009.                                     | 
|  | These condensed consolidated interim financial statements    | 
|  | have been approved for the issue by the Board of Directors   |

|  | The Directors have projected cash flow information for the   | 
|  | period to July 2014.  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        | 
|  | GBP4,892,034 which are due for renewal on 30th April 2010.   | 
|  |                                                              | 
|  | On 1 December 2009 the Company has secured an equity         | 
|  | draw-down facility of up to GBP3m, which    is intended to   | 
|  | be utilised as a standby facility to provide for additional  | 
|  | working capital and to enable the Group to be able to take   | 
|  | advantage of potential opportunities, as and when they       | 
|  | arise.                                                       | 
|  |                                                              | 
|  | 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 to 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.                                                                |

|               | the Group only has one.                                                         | 
|               | The recoverable amounts for the cash-generating units is 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 three years and extrapolates cash   | 
|               | flows for the following two 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.                           |

|    | The convertible loan note was issued on 31 October 2008.  The note is            | 
|    | convertible into ordinary shares of the company at any time by the loan note     | 
|    | holder between the date of issue of the note and 31 October 2013.  On issue, the | 
|    | loan note was convertible at 30,000,000 Ordinary shares at 10p.                  | 
|    | Interest of 5% per annum will be paid quarterly until the settlement date.       | 
|    | The loan has been recognised at fair value, using the market rate for a similar  | 
|    | instrument of 7.5% for the purposes of the valuation.  The difference between    | 
|    | the nominal value of the loan and the fair value has been recognised directly in | 
|    | profit or loss as a finance charge.                                              | 
|    | The fair value of the convertible loan note has been split between a liability   | 
|    | element and an equity component, to represent the fair value of the embedded     | 
|    | option to convert the liability into equity of the group, as follows:            |
