"Expected" error Why?

Why am I getting an "expected" error on the line below marked with "HERE!"?    



      double principal, annual_rate, time;
     
      principal=0.0;
      System.out.print("Enter the principal amount: ");      
      BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      try {
         
      break
             
          principal = Double.parseDouble(br.readLine());               HERE!
            } catch (IOException ioe) {
         System.out.println("IO error trying to read principal!");
         System.exit(1);
            }

      annual_rate=0.0;
      System.out.print("\nEnter the annual rate of interest: ");      
      BufferedReader br1 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
