Clerkenwell Ventures PLC
Unaudited Preliminary Results
for the period ended 30 September 2006

Chairman's Statement

It gives me great pleasure to report the results of Clerkenwell Ventures for the
year to 30 September 2006.

Acquisition strategy

The Company's acquisition strategy, as described in the Company's AIM admission
document dated 25 October 2004, is guided by the following criteria:

*The businesses should have the potential for rapid growth and/or above
average cashflow;
*Strong operational management, capable of forming the executive board of
the Company; and
*A proven business model and attractive returns on capital invested.

The Directors, with their experience and contacts in the corporate finance and
leisure sectors, have identified and investigated a number of businesses which
could be reversed into the Company.

Results

Profit before taxation for the year ended 30 September 2006 was #51,000 (2005:
#77,000). As at 30 September 2006, Clerkenwell Ventures' net cash balances
amounted to #4.3 million (2005: #4.3 million).

Dividends

As described in the Company's AIM admission document dated 25 October 2004, it
is the Board's policy that prior to making the first acquisition, no dividends
will be paid. Following the first acquisition, subject to the availability of
distributable reserves, dividends will be paid to shareholders when the
Directors believe it is appropriate and prudent to do so. However, the main
focus of the Company will be in delivering capital growth for shareholders.

Outlook

We continue to evaluate interesting investment opportunities in businesses with
high growth potential and will update the market when appropriate.

[currypasty] 13/11/2006 10:56

2 market makers tick up today... they lowered the bid last week after the 3 trades, but that didnt shake out any sellers... will an increased bid ? i dont think so, i think shareholders will hold till news now!

[spooky] 08/11/2006 11:01

It may not look like it from today's price but i suspect we are getting closer.

[currypasty] 07/11/2006 16:31

3 trades today, thats unusual... Im watching, listening out for the first signs of something leaking

[currypasty] 09/10/2006 10:45

"10/07/2006
All of a sudden, shell companies are coming into their own. That is the view of David Page, the founder of Pizza Express who chairs AIM-quoted Clerkenwell Ventures and is trying to find a home in the leisure sector for its £4.3 million of cash.

Page proclaims 'we are more cheerful than we have been for months' and says Clerkenwell expects to decide on a suitable deal soon. He argues the market for shell deals has 'hotted up' because alternative financing routes for companies have lately become harder. "


3 months on and nothing, come on, lets have an update !!
