INTELLIGENT INVESTING WITH BANJO,well sort of! (Ed-hmmmm-lol)

Galleon Holdings plc has three key divisions:Galleon Entertainment for entertainment type IP,Croco Worldwide for product IP,Phoenix for interactive TV services for broadcasters in China/South East Asia which includes Robot Information Technology (Lushy Assets ('Yunbo')) who are a wireless interactive platform service provider in China who will work alongside Phoenix to enable GON to hold on to a greater part of the generated revenue and so increase the profit margin......think that's the plan! :-)

This makes Galleon Holdings a 'One Stop Shop' to develop and complete new and existing IP's.

Galleon Holdings PLC
25 January 2007


Galleon Holdings plc
'Galleon' or the 'Company' or the 'Group'

Preliminary Results for the year ended 30 September 2006

Galleon Holdings plc, the owner, developer and manager of intellectual property
('IP') in the entertainment sector announces its preliminary results for the
year ended 30 September 2006.


CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Group Highlights

Turnover increased by 16% to 1,317,998 (2005: 1,134,456)

New streamlined structure of Entertainment Division and Product IP
Division is delivering results

Croco Worldwide Sourcing Limited has grown 40% on last year and
already has an order book of 2.8m for 2007

Galleon Entertainment signed a deal with Sony BMG in ground-breaking,
multi-platform, music-based entertainment business

I am pleased to present Galleon's financial results for the year
ended 30 September 2006. The loss before taxation in this year
was 1,199,389 compared with 1,426,257 for the year ended 30
September 2005 and we have seen a 16% increase in turnover which
grew to 1,317,998 compared with 1,134,456 for the previous year.

Growth

Our divisional approach is allowing us to build strong
operational teams which have delivered the innovation needed to
cut through in their respective marketplaces. As a result of
this we have seen Croco Worldwide Sourcing Limited, our product
IP division, significantly grow its business to date; winning
new clients, rolling out product into new territories and
successfully retaining existing clients with repeat orders.
Galleon Entertainment, our entertainment IP arm, has
successfully developed 'Apollo's Pad', a new business which
embraces all aspects of convergence - music and entertainment
for the new multimedia generation. This has already led to a
global deal with Sony BMG and is scheduled to be in market
towards the end of 2007. We have also made significant progress
with our other development property 'Sokator-442'. With key
partners aligned in multiple territories, this is poised to move
into production during 2007.

Outlook

Our product IP division, Croco Worldwide Sourcing, has already secured a 2007
order book of more than double the whole Group's turnover last year. With the
strength of the current management team and the growth we are seeing in both of
our divisions I can see that 2007 will be a transforming year for the Group.



David Wong
Chairman

25 January 2007


CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT

Review of Operations

Our strategy of owning, developing and managing IP through an entertainment IP
division and a product IP division is, we believe, working. Galleon
Entertainment has signed a major deal with Sony BMG for Apollo's Pad, a new
business which leverages music catalogues to generate revenue across all
platforms. We are also delighted with the growth we are seeing in Croco
Worldwide Sourcing Limited in terms of broadening the customer base and
increasing the overall turnover of the business.

Galleon Entertainment

Galleon Entertainment owns, develops and manages entertainment-based
intellectual property.

For many years the entertainment industry has been watching media convergence
and considering its impact on entertainment consumption habits. In 2006 online
media came of age as an entertainment channel and TV broadcasters are reacting
to this new trend. For the first time, TV broadcasters are insisting on
properties being created with multi-channel consumption built into the content
as opposed to being an afterthought. The industry is referring to this as a '360
degree' or 'multi-platform' approach to entertainment. As a company in the
entertainment IP business this has led to us spending more time on development,
considering multiple channels of access for consumers, such as TV, online,
mobile, live events and retail when creating IP. For some demographics, such as
the 16-24 year old market, online has overtaken TV as the main channel of
entertainment consumption. This means that the traditional TV-led route to
market is being challenged as other opportunities and partnerships arise.

As such, during 2006, we have focused on developing in-house entertainment IP
that allows the consumer to interact with the IP through all key channels. This
means that we have looked at not only creating entertainment that can be
consumed through multiple channels but we are also considering the assets that
may be needed to facilitate this consumption.

Apollo's Pad

Apollo's Pad is the first example of a successful application of our skills to
this new way of thinking. The consumer most affected by convergence is the 16-24
year old. They have a voracious appetite for music, comedy and other
entertainment that can be snacked across multiple platforms. Apollo's Pad is
effectively a business that takes your all-time favourite music and, by applying
the latest in animation and comedy, delivers these great tracks to today's
multimedia consumer as branded entertainment across all channels and platforms:
online, TV, radio, mobile and retail. It was critical that in development we not
only created the content but also the web portal that will allow consumers to
access this content on a global basis. As a business it allows traditional TV
partners to participate in the brand on a regional basis, but is not dependent
on them as means of accessing the consumer. This means that we can launch
Apollo's Pad directly to the global online music market, benefiting from
direct-to-consumer revenue streams from day one of launch. This direct dialogue
also allows our consumers to directly participate in the creating and shaping of
the content that they consume. This integrated two-way dialogue allows us to
constantly be in touch with our audience and effectively create 'Organic
Content' that evolves according to their needs.

This new business model has already resulted in a global deal with Sony BMG who
will be our music partner providing access to music rights and catalogue as well
as the best artists and producers. Sony BMG will also be our partner in the
sales and marketing of the music videos we create on a global basis.
Conversations with TV, mobile and online partners are continuing on a territory
basis. The first content will be launched in quarter four 2007.

Sokator-442

Sokator-442, Galleon's football-based fantasy targeting children aged 6-11 has
also been developed as a full '360 degree' concept. It comprises linear TV
episodes that convey the story, live action Interstitials that demonstrate
playground football games from the TV show, an online function where children
can play fantasy games and upload content, and finally a live events program
that allows children to play the proprietary Sokator football games that we have
created.

The development of this property has been carried out in conjunction with key
broadcast partners. This '360 degree' approach to development has resulted in us
taking longer over this stage of development than originally planned. However
the result of this process is that we not only have a far better product but we
are also in negotiations with four key territories.

Skunk fu!

Skunk fu! is currently in production and on schedule for delivery of 52 episodes
which will be available for airing in quarter three 2007. The property continues
to get strong interest from markets around the world and was in the top five
screened shows at Mipcom, the International TV market. Currently the show is
placed in the UK with the BBC, Germany with Super RTL, France, Sweden, Benelux
and Australia. Discussions are ongoing in the US, Italy and other international
territories.

Mysti

Mysti, our 'tween'-girl targeted brand continues to air on the BBC (UK). During
2006 we have been growing the brand through online activities, building the
online fanclub and creating a branded virtual community. Taking the learning
from this direct-to-consumer activity we are now in the process of redeveloping
Mysti as a more integrated '360 degree' property.

Other brands

Galleon controls the merchandising rights to 'Hoo Ha House', the
publishing-based brand targeting children aged 3-6. The brand has successfully
been launched in the UK with a direct-to-consumer publishing programme and also
through 3,000 primary schools as a branded reading and activity program.

Galleon has retained its 50% ownership of 'Peppers Patrol', the pre-school
property, currently being developed as a stop frame animated TV show by our
joint venture partner, Coolabi.

Croco Worldwide Sourcing Limited

Croco Worldwide Sourcing Limited designs, patents, sources and supplies in-pack
premiums to global FMCG companies.

Our strategy of focusing on the higher margin but more complex in-pack premium
segment has led to significant growth in this business.

Croco Worldwide is in a very strong position. The business has grown such that
the order book for 2007 already sits at 2,800,000 compared with 850,000 for
2006. This gives us good visibility of future revenues and furthermore we expect
to see this growth trend continuing for a number of reasons. Firstly, we have
now widened our customer base and are currently dealing with the world's largest
manufacturers of family branded food and drink products. The global nature of
these clients is presenting us with opportunities to roll out regional
promotions on a global basis. To date the success of our products in the market
and the excellence of our customer service and fulfilment has meant that we have
maintained 100% customer retention, giving us the benefits of repeat business
from our existing customers. As our portfolio of product IP grows we are also
able to look beyond in-pack premiums as a means of monetising our IP in order to
further widen our revenue streams.

Outlook

We have made some significant progress in 2006 in growing our immediate business
opportunities with Croco Worldwide and developing the assets that will deliver
long term sustainable revenues through our entertainment division.

Our entertainment division is leading the market with integrated '360 degree'
entertainment initiatives like Apollo's Pad and Sokator-442. With Sony BMG as
our partner, Apollo's Pad has gained significant momentum early on and, working
with them, we are actively discussing further deals with key global and regional
partners.

Croco Worldwide continues to grow its business exponentially with an expanding
client base, greater global reach, a growing portfolio of IP and levels of
service that are delivering repeat business. This is giving us better visibility
of revenues and presents a wider range of opportunities to sustain this growth.

We have an exciting year ahead in 2007 and I would like to thank the staff for
their hard work and the shareholders for your continued support.
