For Immediate Release 26 September 2006





                          ADORIAN PLC (the "Company")


             Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2006



                              CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT



OVERVIEW


The company remains a cash shell at present, although continuing actively to
seek new opportunities to enhance shareholder value. Trading on AIM was restored
on 8 August 2006 following the proposed acquisition of Anglo Biotrans Plc not
taking place.



FINANCIAL RESULTS


The unaudited financial results for the six months to 30 June 2006 show an
operating loss of #29,000; earnings per share are negative, being 0.24p basic,
0.12p fully diluted.


CASH FLOW AND FUNDING


The directors have committed themselves to the financial support of the company
until such time as a reorganisation of the company's finances are effected on an
acquisition.


OUTLOOK


The Board continues to seek ways, by acquisition, to enhance shareholder value.
It was disappointed that the proposed Anglo Biotrans transaction did not take
place but feel confident that a further acquisition will be found. Shareholders
should be aware that the Company's nominated advisor have informed them that if
no acquisition, constituting a "reverse transaction" under the AIM Rules, has
been completed by 29 March 2007, the shares will be suspended on AIM. .
