                              Galleon Holdings plc

             Interim results for the six months ended 31 March 2006

Highlights:

*   Turnover increased by 34% to #743K for the 6 months to March 2006
    compared with the same period last year (31 March 2005: #553K)
*   Operating loss of #453k for the 6 months ended 31 March 2006 (31
    March 2005: #193k)
*   New management team in place
*   Group gears up for growth

David Wong, Chairman, Galleon Holdings plc commented:

The last year has seen the new management team focus the business on two key
areas, Galleon Entertainment and Croco Worldwide Sourcing.  In doing so, the 
operations of the company have now moved to London with the company gearing up
for continued growth.   Galleon has already managed to grow its revenue by 34% 
in the 6 months to March 2006 compared with the same period last year and has 
built an infrastructure that will deliver strong growth through to the end of 
the year and for the future.  As a result of this we have seen an increase in 
overhead in the first half of this year which has had a negative impact on 
operating profit in the short term.

Galleon Entertainment now has a balanced portfolio of entertainment properties:
*   'Mysti' continues to rate strongly on the BBC(UK) and series 3 is currently 
    in development
*   'Skunk Fu!' is in full production with 52 episodes targeted for delivery to 
    air in 2007 on the BBC(UK), Super RTL(Germany), Canal J(France) and other 
    European territories. Advanced discussions are in place for other key
    territories including the US and Australia.
*   The company has developed a strong 'slate' of development projects

Croco Worldwide is seeing real organic growth:
*   Croco continues to gain new global FMCG customers
*   The divisions order book is looking strong through to the end of this 
    financial year and into 2007
*   Key members of staff have been recruited to ensure continued growth in sales
    and operations capacity

Galleon's ability to create, develop and manage children and family targeted
entertainment, coupled with our strong commercial relationships with the
world's leading broadcasters, global food companies and consumer products
partners, is building Galleon's position into an innovative and imaginative
global children's and family intellectual property business.
