OEM plc                     FINAL INTERIM RESULTS


For the six months ended 31st December 2006

The profit after taxation for the six months to 31 December 2006 was #86,000
(2005 #1,000). The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

During the period the company has incurred reasonable operating overheads partly
offset by interest income, and we are continuing to look for further development
opportunities on behalf of both the company and our clients.

With regard to the legal action against the estate of the late Brian Schneider,
our previous chief executive, and other parties, I am pleased to report that we
have received a further sum of #214,000 in settlement of our claim.

The company is continuing to pursue redress through the courts but any further
success cannot, of course, be guaranteed and please be aware that the company
may not fully recover its losses.

We do not recommend the payment of any dividend.

I believe that there are some exciting projects awaiting the company and I have
every confidence in the future.

                basis of the accounting policies set out in the Group's 2006 
                statutory accounts.

                profit (loss) on ordinary activities after taxation by 7,985,793 
                being the number of ordinary shares in issue throughout this 
                half year, the prior year and half year.
   3            The results for the year ended 30 June 2006 are an abridged
