Aye agree with that. Seems there are a few who will be adding tomorrow. Can see a few people looking back into the small cap sector with the uncertainty in this market.

interest is now 2,441,150 shares representing 12.96% of the enlarged issued
share capital.
Application has therefore been made for a total of 9,078,337 new Ordinary
Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence
on 12 November 2004.
James Driscoll M.B.E, Chairman, commented,
'I am delighted with the level of enthusiasm and appetite that we have seen for
this Placing, which reinforces the confidence that I, and our investors, have
in the future of the Company. The funds provided enable us to move the business
forward and capitalise on the many opportunities that the group is presented
with.'
Trading Update
The Company is pleased to report considerable developments during the second
half of 2004 which has seen Galleon's intellectual property portfolio continue
to increase.
J Christopher Entertainment (JCE)
The acquisition in June of JCE, the animation facility based in California, has
been the main contributor to recent developments. Our team in Hollywood has
worked with great enthusiasm and delivered animation of the highest quality. As
a result we have now completed one eleven minute episode of Oggies, a two
minute fully animated trailer for Professor Winklebottom's Universe (PWU) and a
two minute trailer in flash animation for Malcolm. We have recently returned
from Mipcom, the television festival in Cannes where these properties were
shown to the market for the first time. All three were received very positively
and we are presently following up interest expressed from TV distributors and
broadcasters in a number of international territories. These include the USA,
UK, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Canada, Netherlands and Russia. We have also
received co-production enquires for all three projects from two companies in
North America who are currently airing shows on the networks.
Over and above our own properties, our studio is also preparing budgets for
development and production of animation projects for third parties. In October
we completed the editing of a 26 half hour networked animation series in North
America on behalf of Bardel Entertainment in Canada. Three home video and DVD
releases for their award winning Silverwing cartoon series are now available
for worldwide distribution.
Peppers Patrol
Peppers Patrol, the pre-school animation series is now in development. Our
Joint Venture partners, Alibi Communications plc, have selected Siriol
Animation, Cardiff, producers of the new Fireman Sam series for the BBC as the
studio to undertake the work. They are currently in the process of modelling
some of the characters.
Oggies
Jason Blewitt was appointed to the group in September 2004 as Marketing and
Promotions Executive for our property, Oggies, an animation largely focussed
around action sports which includes surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and
mountain biking. Jason is a former Australian National Long Board Surfing
Champion three years consecutively and previously operations manager at Surfing
Australia, he is well known to surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding
associations across the world and is currently negotiating promotional and
licensing opportunities. Contracts have been signed with the British Surfing
Association and Surfing Australia who will be launching Oggies surf academies
in 2005 to teach children to surf safely.
The safer surfing on the Internet initiative with Fistral Freddie, a character
from Oggies, was launched in October 2003 by the Metropolitan Police in
conjunction with Crimestoppers and is planned to be rolled out to schools
nationally during 2005. This project is designed to warn children about the
potential dangers of the Internet and in particular chat rooms. Our association
with The Met and Crimestoppers once again demonstrates the strength of our
portfolio of characters.
Croco Worldwide Sourcing
Croco Worldwide Sourcing has also made progress since acquisition in May 2004,
we have signed exclusive licences for global distribution of two premiums, on
and in pack toy related products, these have recently been accepted and
approved by a blue chip client who is considering using them for promotions
during 2005. Croco also own promotional rights in PWU, which JCE has now
developed into an animation concept for the world market.
We have spent the past six months putting the cornerstones of the business in
place which has meant us reviewing our strategic objectives. We remain
committed to building a valuable IPR portfolio and with the addition of JCE and
Croco it gives us the opportunity to retain more rights ownership. We have also
identified new income streams that we are now in a position to exploit which
were not available to us previously.

Why was Driscoll in the US?... Perhaps...under the direction of J Christopher Entertainment, Galleon's LA based studio
Why Has Keith been Busy in London Meetings?... Perhaps...internationally renowned soccer stars who have already indicated their desire to be involved.
Can Galleon expect revenue from this property?... "O YES"....the multiple revenue streams unlocked by this property would deliver six figure revenues as early as 2006.
Is this likely to take a long time?...."O NO".....The project is moving ahead with such momentum that a concurrent UK & US launch is looking likely.
THE GREEN AQUISITION WAS MADE AT 15p PER SHARE.... (GALLEON SHARES)... IF IT STARTS PRODUCING REVENUE QUICKLY, AND THESE ARE GOING TO BE SIX FIGURE SUMS QUICKLY, THEN THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO FLY ABOVE THE 15p MARK VERY VERY QUICKLY.
Galleon, the intellectual property owner, developer and manager is delighted to announce the introduction to its portfolio of a new intellectual property, which has been developed by the Company's recently acquired subsidiary, Green and Dunne Ltd.
The property, provisionally titled `Project Sport,' would consist initially of 52 half hour episodes incorporating animation and live action aimed at boys. It is anticipated that the property, involving a global sports theme, will feature internationally renowned soccer stars who have already indicated their desire to be involved. It has been developed using UK and US writers and animators under the direction of J Christopher Entertainment, Galleon's LA based studio. Early response to the property from key broadcasters in the UK and US has been extremely positive and the Directors believe that the property has the potential to become a global perennial brand. The project is moving ahead with such momentum that a concurrent UK & US launch is looking likely. In this event the multiple revenue streams unlocked by this property would deliver six figure revenues as early as 2006.
Galleon will shortly be showcasing the property at MIPTV in Cannes in order to get further feedback from broadcasters. Alongside Project Sport, Galleon will be marketing its strongest portfolio of properties to date for broadcaster consideration. This portfolio includes Oggies, Astro Knights, Malcolm and Professor Winklebottom's Universe.
The Project Sport property was conceived by Stephen Green and Len Dunne, CEO and Managing Director of Galleon. The pair have worked together both at Hasbro and Chorion. At Hasbro Stephen Green was responsible for license acquisition of entertainment properties and out licensing of Hasbro brands while Len Dunne managed Action Man, Transformers and Batman. At Chorion, where the pair was part of the management team responsible for the turnaround of the business, Stephen Green managed global marketing operations while Len Dunne was responsible for TV animation development.
James Driscoll MBE, Chairman of Galleon, and a creator of a global success story in the Shoe People, said,
"Galleon acquired Green and Dunne Ltd because, in Stephen Green and Len Dunne, we have the creativity and expertise to profitably take intellectual properties from conception to market. The new show is looking great, we have enormous confidence in its potential to be a global success story and we are looking forward to sharing the story with broadcasters at MIPTV."

from the iii board
being quoted 6.53p to sell....
Driscoll is in the office today, but you are likely to be told it is Keith you need to talk to.
Keith is rounding up business meetings that he has been attending all last week.
He will be in the office tomorrow, and anyone at all having doubts about whether to get in, or average down, I urge you to call him. He is a very nice amiable chap, and will not fill you with flannel, but will answer what he can within the constraints of divulging price sensitive info.
Look at the facts... MM's walked this down on minimal trades... Loads and loads in the pipeline. Look at the figures being talked about in latest offering. Green aquired at 15p per Galleon share.
It has been walked down far far to much, and should be around the 15p mark with no news. A bit of good news, and it should be moving up from 15p.
If you are on losses, you could have reduced those losses by averaging down, and its not to late to do so..
Of course, I will put in my opinion, but my opinion is that of someone who has picked up the phone and spoken to them.

Not looking for sympathy, it was quite clearly a bad decision to invest in GON. I don't need to deramp the stock, it's done a very good job of that itself! However, I am quite happy to see the SP rise, although I can't really see that the recent rise is proof that anything has changed. A bit of turnover and profitability would make all the difference. We shall see.
