    CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
    for the year ended 31 December 2007

    It has been a year of significant development for the Group which has seen us actively grow our estate. Substantial headway has been
made in exploiting synergies across the portfolio. Operating profit for the year has increased to £420,447, which is over three times the
operating profit made in 2006.

    In January 2007 the Group announced the issue of 12,500,000 ordinary shares at a price of 1p per share.

    In March 2007 the Group announced that it had completed a successful re-financing of the business which included a new facility of
£7,870,000 and the issue of 46,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of 1p per share. The new share issue included the allotment of 43,500,000
to the Group's directors and related parties. In July 2007 the Group issued 3,200,000 ordinary shares at 1.5p per share including the
allotment of 2,200,000 to the Group's directors and related parties.

    Since the year end a further 12,150,000 ordinary shares were issued of which 9,650,000 were again taken up by the Group's directors and
related parties.

    Following the acquisition of the Wayford Bridge Hotel in Norfolk for £1,950,000 in March 2007, the Group acquired The Bridge Inn, Acle,
in May 2007 for £300,000 and The Angel Hotel, Lavenham, in July 2007 for £400,000. In December 2007 the Group took over the running of The
Pear Tree Inn in Melksham, completing the acquisition in early March 2008 for a consideration of £305,000, increasing the Maypole Group
estate to seven.

    The Group achieved sales of £5,167,037 for the year to 31 December 2007 reflecting the additional sites added during the year plus 5.3%
like for like growth in the existing estate. The wettest summer since 1912 did not help sales in the second half of the year however a
modest like for like increase was nonetheless achieved during this period. This was against a backdrop of challenging trading conditions for
beer sales but with an increased demand for eating out in pubs following the introduction of the smoking ban in July 2007.

    The Group made a loss before tax of £213,245 in the year to 31 December 2007 after exceptional charges of £128,117. These exceptional
charges comprised March 2007 refinancing costs of £260,117 less an exceptional receipt from the Group's bankers of £132,000 relating to
the termination of a hedging agreement in respect of the Group's main borrowings, the terms of which were subsequently renegotiated. After
adjusting for these items the Group made a loss before tax of £85,128. 

    During the year the Group also took over the running of the Bear and Bells in Beccles under a short-term tenancy agreement whilst
discussing the possibility of adding a number of letting rooms. The agreement was terminated in early February 2008.

    WROXTON HOUSE HOTEL
    Wroxton House Hotel is situated in the village of Wroxton St Mary, close to Banbury. The 32 bedroom former manor house has a 3 star
rating and was the Group's first acquisition, completed in February 2004 for a total consideration of £2,150,000. The hotel has undergone a
great deal of refurbishment and has continued to grow; increasing turnover from £868,000 for the year ended 31 December 2006 to £951,000
for the year ended 31 December 2007.


    THE LIFEBOAT INN AND OLD COACH HOUSE
    The Lifeboat Inn and Old Coach House are both situated in Thornham on the North Norfolk coast and were acquired by the Group in April
2005 for £5,000,000. There are 14 well furnished rooms within The Lifeboat Inn as well as a restaurant, bar and delightful patio garden
area. Turnover for the year was £1,716,000 (2006: £1,749,000) down 1.9% on the previous year due largely to the very wet summer.  

    The Old Coach House in Thornham has 12 bedrooms. The improvement in menu choice and re-design of the restaurant has seen turnover
increase from £394,000 for the year ended 31 December 2006 to £505,000 for the year ended 31 December 2007.


    WAYFORD BRIDGE HOTEL
    Wayford Bridge Hotel is located in Stalham on the Norfolk Broads and was acquired in March 2007 for £1,950,000. The hotel consists of
15 bedrooms, a large restaurant and beautiful gardens. Turnover for the first part year was £728,000, an increase of 3% from the
corresponding period in 2006.


    THE BRIDGE INN
    The Bridge Inn was acquired shortly after the Wayford Bridge Hotel in May 2007 as a leasehold business through Enterprise Inns. The Inn
is also located on the Norfolk Broads within close proximity of Wayford Bridge Hotel. The Inn sits on the River Bure and is an 18th century
building and former farmhouse. The Bridge Inn consists of a restaurant that currently has 52 covers and large bar and family room with
adjoining outside play area which will offer seating for an additional 32 people. Turnover for the 7 months from May 2007 was £571,000.
      

    THE ANGEL HOTEL
    The Angel Hotel is located in the famous medieval village of Lavenham, Suffolk. Consisting of 8 bedrooms and a popular restaurant,
residents' lounge and bar, Maypole acquired a leasehold interest in the property in July 2007.  The bar/restaurant currently has 80 covers
although further seating in fine weather allows an additional 50 covers split between the front terrace and rear gardens. The Angel Hotel
has held an AA rosette since 1995.  Turnover of £428,000 was achieved from July 2007.


    THE PEAR TREE
    The Pear Tree Inn was acquired in December 2007 as a leasehold business through Punch Taverns. It is a delightful country pub and
restaurant with a bar area that can seat 30 people and a restaurant that has space for 80 covers. Outside there is a courtyard that can seat
a further 100 people. The hotel has eight five star AA letting rooms with space available for the addition of up to six additional letting
rooms.  The Pear Tree has won several accolades including: The Publican Catering Pub Of The Year 1999 and the Good Pub National Catering Pub
Of The Year 2007. 


    EMPLOYEES
    Thanks are due to all management and staff of the Group for their dedication and commitment without which the progress that has been
made would not have been possible.


    DIVIDEND POLICY
    In view of Maypole's ongoing expansion plans and long term growth prospects, the Group does not expect to pay a dividend for the
foreseeable future.


    CURRENT TRADING
    Current trading has been marginally below expectations with like for like sales for the first quarter of 2008 slightly below the
corresponding period in 2007. It is worth noting that this was affected in part by Easter falling particularly early this year so this is
not a straight comparison. The Board remains encouraged by the Group's overall performance in difficult economic conditions. Our strategy
remains focused on adding further hotels to the Group's existing portfolio, particularly in the form of our more recent openings The Angel
Hotel and The Pear Tree which offer more consistent year round trade, higher quality food menus and are less dependent on weather
conditions.

    NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    for the year ended 31 December 2007
    
1.                  GENERAL INFORMATION

    The financial information in this preliminary announcement does not constitute the group's statutory financial statements for the period
ended 31 December 2007 but has been extracted from the group's 31 December 2007 financial statements which were approved by the board on 15
May 2008, and as such, does not contain all information required to be disclosed in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Statutory financial statements for this period will be filed following the Annual
General Meeting. The auditors have issued an unqualified report on these financial statements.

    2.         ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    The Group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Statements (IFRSs) as adopted
by the European Union and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985. The principal accounting policies adopted
by the Group will be set out in the statutory financial statements.

    IFRSs have been adopted for the first time for the year ended 31 December 2007. The Group has elected to take advantage of the
transition provision in IFRS 1 "First time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards" that permits the Group not to apply the
provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" to all business combinations occurring before the transition date.

    These financial statements do not include the provisions of various standards and interpretations that were in issue but not effective
for the reporting year of the company. These are IFRS 3 (revised), IFRS 8, Amendments to International Accounting Standards 1, 23, 27 and 32
and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee 11 to 14 inclusive. The directors anticipate adoption of these standards
and interpretations in future periods will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group.

                The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

        
3.         SEGMENT INFORMATION
    
 
                The Group's revenue and profits arose wholly from running hotels and restaurants.

 7.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the loss on ordinary activities after taxation and on the weighted average
number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

     Diluted earnings per ordinary share

     The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the basic loss per share adjusted to allow for the issue of shares on all
share options granted at a price less than the average market
     price for the year. They are assumed to be converted at the date of issue.

        (39,613)                                     (53,372)

      Notes:
                                    (1)           Under UK GAAP the deferred tax assets and liabilities were netted off against each other,
rather than shown separately, as required by IFRS. A
                                                  presentation adjustment to increase deferred tax assets and liabilities is required to
reverse the netting off.

                                    (2)           On the acquisition of a subsidiary company, the properties in that subsidiary were
revalued to fair value for the purposes of establishing the
                                                  consideration payable for the acquisition and recording of the assets in the Group
accounts.

                                                  Under UK GAAP deferred tax liabilities are not provided on all property valuations unless
there is an agreement in place to dispose of the property
                                                  concerned. IFRS requires a deferred tax liability to be provided on all property
revaluations. An adjustment is required between deferred tax liability
                                                  and retained earnings.

      There were no material adjustments necessary affecting the Group's reported financial performance in the transition from UK GAAP to
IFRS. The loss for the previous period under IFRS was £238,759,
      which was the amount reported under UK GAAP.

      Cash Flow Statement
      Under UK GAAP, cash flows are presented separately for operating activities, returns on investments and servicing of finance,
taxation, capital expenditure and financial investment, acquisitions
      and disposals, management of liquid resources and financial activities. IFRS, however, requires only three categories of cash flow
activity to be reported: operating, investing and financing.

      There are no other material differences between the cash flow statement presented under IFRSs and the cash flow statement presented
under UK GAAP.
