The new model will allow global companies to lease, on a long term licence basis - typically 6-12 months, the Adwalker wearable media units. The new model is designed to offset the variable nature of the Company's current sales model and extend the Company's geographic market for the platform without incurring additional headcount and resource costs in those countries.

The Company has signed two licenses with companies situated in Australia and New Zealand and is advanced stages of discussions with several companies in other geographic areas.

FMCG Update As previously announced, in July 2007 the Company commenced a pilot study on behalf of a FTSE 100 FMCG company for the rollout of an interactive fixed screen digital network. The Board can confirm that the results from the six month pilot study have been very encouraging and the Company is currently in negotiations regarding an initial roll out of the network into retail stores. The Board looks forward to updating shareholders on the progress of these discussions in the near future. The Company continues to apply the technological expertise gained from the creation of its wearable digital media platform into the development of interactive digital screen networks. The global relationship forged with IBM, as an accredited business partner, has enabled the Company to develop the target business channel for these types of networks more effectively. The Company is currently in early stage discussions with companies based in North America and Ireland for the provision of four separate interactive digital screen networks. Outlook The Board of Adwalker is encouraged by the interest seen in the new licence model for the Adwalker wearable media platform and is optimistic that the good start in the first weeks of 2008 can be maintained. The Company has worked extremely hard to deliver the FMCG Pilot Study over the last 16 months and we are delighted that the results have led to negotiations regarding a rollout. While there can be no guarantee of concluding discussions with the FMCG company or the other companies that have expressed interest regarding interactive fixed screen networks, the Board remains confident that the Company will make further progress in this area in 2008. I am privileged to be able to announce the appointment of our two new non-executives who both have a demonstrable track record in the media and advertising industry. I look forward to working with them in the future and I am sure that their advice and knowledge will be beneficial to the Company. The Company is entering a particularly exciting phase of its development and I look forward to updating shareholders further in the coming year." --ENDS-- Enquiries: Adwalker plc Tel: +353 (1) 866 9000 Simon Crisp www.adwalker.com Bishopsgate Communications Ltd.
