Ludorum plc
Preliminary Announcement of Unaudited Final Results for the period 
ended 31 December 2006.

Chairman's Statement
This is the first set of final results since Ludorum completed a placing to 
raise #5 million and its shares were admitted to the Alternative Investment 
Market in April 2006. Ludorum was launched with the aim of taking advantage of 
the rapid evolution of technologies for the distribution of intellectual 
property within the field of media and entertainment and it is pleasing to 
report on the progress made during the period. 

We have developed an animated property aimed at pre-school age children which 
already has had a very encouraging reaction from major broadcasters in key 
territories around the world and we have started to make significant progress 
in negotiations of carriage agreements.  We expect to launch the property to 
the trade at Mipcom in October and after the period end we signed an agreement 
for the production of the first series of 52 episodes, with a budget of 
$6.3 million, half of which will be met by a major international toy 
manufacturer which has taken a global master toy licence.   

During the period we commenced investment in the organic development of a 
subsidiary established to distribute content of a growing genre which we believe
is ideally suited to new media platforms. This is starting to gain some 
interesting outlets for its content and we have continued to invest in its 
development. In order to expand our presence in this genre, and to provide 
access to content libraries, we have reviewed a number of acquisition 
opportunities and continue to progress actively two that would give us an 
attractive international presence within the sector. Inevitably, there are 
significant due diligence costs involved in pursuing these targets and there 
can be no guarantee at this stage that they will be satisfactorily completed.  

In order to fund the acquisition opportunities and continued development and 
production of the pre-school property, the Group will require additional equity 
funding and expects to announce proposals to the market in due course.

We continue to be excited by the evolving new media landscape and the 
opportunities for the distribution of IP that it presents.

Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements
for the period from incorporation on 18 October 2005 to 31 December 2006

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to
the whole period presented.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the EU and
with those parts of the Companies Act 1985 applicable to companies reporting
under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention. A summary of the more important Group accounting policies is
set out below.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management's best
knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results ultimately may differ
from these estimates.

IFRS 7 'Financial instruments: Disclosures' has not been early adopted by the
Group. This standard does not have any impact on the classification and
valuation of the Group's financial instruments. In addition, the Group has not
early adopted the following interpretations which are not yet effective: IFRIC 7
'Applying the restatement approach under IAS 29', IFRIC 8 'Scope of IFRS 2',
IFRIC 9 'Reassessment of embedded derivatives' and IFRIC 10 'Interim financial
reporting and impairment'. These interpretations are not expected to have any
impact on the Group's financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

At this stage in the Company's development substantially all its accounting
transactions are related to cash and the requirement for critical estimates and
judgments is limited. However, the Directors have had to estimate the fair
value of options granted under the Incentive Option Plan as explained in more
detail below.

Basis of consolidation

These financial statements include the results of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The results of businesses acquired during the period are included
from the effective date of acquisition.

Foreign currency translation

(1) Functional and presentation currency - Items included in the financial
statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional
currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Sterling,
which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(2) Transactions and balances - Foreign currency transactions are translated
into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of
the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the
settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange
rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are
recognised in the income statement.

(3) Group companies - The results and financial position of Group entities that
have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency as follows:

* assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the
balance sheet;

* income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates.

All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of
equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net
investment in foreign entities are taken to shareholders' equity. The Group
treats specific inter-company loan balances, which are not intended to be repaid
for the foreseeable future, as part of its net investment.

The principal overseas currency for the Group is the US Dollar. The average rate
for the period against Sterling was $1.8897 and the rate at 31 December 2006 was
$1.9572.

Investment in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any provision for
impairment.

Property, plant & equipment

Property, plant and equipment comprises office equipment which is recorded at
purchase cost less depreciation and, when appropriate, provision for impairment.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of the assets, less their
estimated residual values, over their expected useful economic lives. Office
equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life
of three years.

Intangible assets

(1) Development Projects

Costs comprise direct programme costs, which are capitalised up to the date of
first release of the programme, and programme development costs. Costs for
developing programmes are expensed until such time as a pilot is produced and
decision is made to exploit the programme further. Development costs are
transferred to work in progress once a decision is made to proceed with the
programme. 

A charge is made to write down the cost of completed programmes over
their useful lives. Completed programmes are expensed based on the ratio of the
current period's net revenues to estimated total net revenues from all sources
on an individual production basis. This charge is included in the income
statement as part of cost of sales.

(2) Acquired intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets comprise distribution rights and regionalisation
costs. These assets are capitalised on acquisition and amortised over their
estimated useful lives. Distribution rights are amortised on a straight-line
basis over the relevant licence period. Regionalisation costs are amortised on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives, generally
estimated to be three years, or, if shorter, over the length of the licence
period of the relevant property.

The carrying value of intangible assets is subject to an impairment review where
there are indicators that impairment may exist. An impairment loss is calculated
by reference to the expected future revenues of the underlying property, taking
account of the cost of such sales, from which the discounted value of future
cash flows relating to the intangible asset is determined and compared to the
carrying value. Any impairment charge is included in the income statement as
part of cost of sales.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances held in a UK clearing bank
account or held on treasury deposit.

Tax and deferred tax

Taxation is recognised on profits at the rate of corporation tax applicable to
small companies of 19 per cent.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary
differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,
carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it
is probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax
losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed
at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part
of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are
expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax relating to items
recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the income
statement.

Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Operating leases

Payments relating to operating leases are recognised in the income statement on
a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial rent deposits are shown as a
debtor in the balance sheet.

Incentive option plan

The Company has granted share options under the Incentive Option Plan which will
result in share-based payments to optionholders on exercise of the options. The
fair value of these options, which the Company has estimated at the award date
using a Monte Carlo valuation model, is estimated to be #1,500 per option and is
expensed through the income statement over the vesting period of the options.
The principal assumptions used in the valuation are as follows: initial share
price - #1; expected volatility - 40 per cent.; term of option - 5 years; and
risk-free interest rate - 4.75 per cent. As the Company does not have a trading
history, expected volatility has been based on the volatility of a range of
comparable companies over periods equal to the option term. The main feature of
the options taken into account in the valuation is the facility for the number
of shares under option to be enlarged in accordance with the rules of the
Incentive Option Plan.

Share capital

The Company's share capital consists of ordinary shares with a nominal value of
1p each and deferred shares with a nominal value of 99p each. No dividends have
been declared or paid on the ordinary shares. The rights of the deferred shares
to receive dividends or participate in distributions of capital on a winding-up
are so limited as to render the deferred shares of negligible value. The costs
of issuing shares are charged directly to the share premium account.

Pension costs

The Group contributes to defined-contribution (money purchase) private pension
schemes in the UK for the benefit of the executive Directors (with the exception
of Richard Rothkopf). The Group also provides for a defined-contribution pension
scheme for the benefit of its employee in the US. 

Contributions are charged to the income statement on the basis of the 
contributions payable during the year.

Segmental reporting

The Group's primary reporting format is geographical segments. At this early
stage in its development it does not have a meaningful secondary segment. The
Group's geographical segments are determined by the location of its assets and
operations.

Financial risk

The main risk arising from the Group's financial activities is liquidity risk.
The Group manages this by financing its activities through its cash resources
which are maintained on short-term deposit.

7 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the earnings or loss
attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the period. Because basic EPS results in a loss per
share the diluted EPS is calculated using the undiluted weighted average number
of shares.
