ABOUT GALLEON HOLDINGS

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 500 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 multi-platform 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 targeted football talent show, produced in association with Chelsea Football Club. The show has aired successfully in China and Malaysia. Format rights have been sold for Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Turkey, India, Middle East and Vietnam to partners including IMG and Media Star Global.

• Skunk Fu! - a comedy action animated TV show for kids aged 6-11 which airs in 100+ territories including Cartoon Network(US), the BBC(UK), Disney Latin America, Cartoon Network Asia and Super RTL(Germany).

• Apollo's Pad - a multiplatform young adult sitcom that airs on Bite TV in Canada and includes a content rich online offering.

• Sokator-442 - a multi-player intergalactic football (soccer) management game that combines tactical thinking with fantasy/sci-fi gameplay.
