Notes to Editors: 
 
 
Galleon Holdings plc creates and distributes multi-platform branded 
entertainment properties focused on the emerging markets, in particular China 
and South East Asia. The entertainment properties are designed to establish a 
direct, interactive relationship with the viewer. 
 
 
Television in China reaches approximately 98% of the population of 1.3 billion. 
Mobile phone penetration is also high, with over 450 million subscribers and 
with over 300 million people online, China is now the largest online market in 
the world.  Huge TV audiences and growing interactive platform access presents a 
substantial opportunity for Galleon to benefit from the popularity and demand 
for interactive entertainment and game shows. China is forecast to become the 
world's fifth largest advertising market. 
 
 
In October 2007 Galleon acquired Phoenix, a Hong Kong based media solutions 
company, which specialises in the provision of interactive broadcast television 
services that enable broadcasters in China and South East Asia to provide 
interactive entertainment for audiences to access through TV, online and mobile. 
 
 
In February 2008 Galleon acquired Yunbo, a mobile service provider in China, 
strengthening the Company's ability to provide Chinese broadcasters with a 
complete media solution for multiplatform entertainment.  Galleon now has total 
control over the interactive content, its delivery to the consumer, data capture 
and the billing process. 
 
 
Galleon develops entertainment formats for children, families and young adults. 
These include: 
 
 
  *  Super Soccer Star - an interactive family orientated football talent show. 
  Produced in association with Chelsea Football Club through its media arm Chelsea 
  Digital Media.  The first series, broadcast in Guangdong province, China, 
  achieved top five show status. 
  *  The Limit - prime-time family variety game show.  To be launched in Hunan 
  province, China in early 2009.
