                               PRELIMINARY RESULTS

                                       TO

                                30 DECEMBER 2006



CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE 52 WEEKS ENDED 30 DECEMBER 2006



Group turnover, including concession sales, for the period ended 30 December
2006 amounted to #70.3m, an increase of approximately 7% by comparison to the
previous period.  This enabled the Group to return an operating profit of
#415,000, by comparison to an operating loss of #82,000 for the same period last
year.


Grocery retailing


As mentioned in my interim statement, the remodelling of the former Safeway
store in the heart of Douglas was completed at the end of the year, and
relaunched as "ShopriteSelect". The remodelled store has allowed the
introduction of exciting offerings from Wilkinson, COOK, & Subway alongside our
established ranges from Waitrose, Iceland, & Tchibo to provide a unique
experience which we believe provides "everything the town centre wants" under
one roof.


Although the grocery market remains highly competitive, the traditional Shoprite
stores continued to perform well, with customers appreciating the mix of Manx
produce, regional speciality products and national brands.




Motor retailing


Motor retailing has performed well and has provided an important contribution to
Group results.  We continue to benefit from the ongoing new model development
programme announced by Mercedes Benz, and believe that this will provide
encouraging sales opportunities in the future.




Property


Our property division has continued to operate with high occupancy levels in
both the Village Walk Shopping Centre and the Summerhill Village complex.




PLUS Market


The Company announces today that it has applied to have its shares traded on the
PLUS Market which is an independent equity market for small and mid-cap
companies. As there is no additional cost or regulatory obligations on the
Company, it is anticipated that shareholders will welcome any resultant
increased trading from this move.

Following this application, a Special Resolution is proposed to update Article
53 of the Company's Articles of Association to clarify the applicable price if
there is a difference between the mid-market quotations on the two markets.





Outlook


For a number of years, Isle of Man consumers have benefited from a highly
competitive grocery market and it is anticipated that this position will
continue. The Directors have therefore placed a high priority on the continued
development and upgrading of our retail infrastructure, and as a result, we
believe that Shoprite is well placed to continue to deliver value to the Isle of
Man consumer within a quality retail environment.


I would like to take this opportunity to thank all colleagues throughout the
Group for their hard work and loyalty during the year and for their support in
facing the challenges ahead.

NOTES


1.         The loss per share is based on the loss after tax of #393,000 (2005
loss #858,000) and an average of 75,923,461Ordinary Shares in issue for the
period (2005 76,149,106)



2.         The Group has made an adjustment to correct an accounting error in a
prior year which led to an overstatement of the value of a specific property.
The error affects fixed assets and retained reserves brought forward but has no
effect on the current period. The affect on the opening balances is detailed
below.
