For release                                     

           Dolphin Capital Investors Limited ("DCI" or the "Company")
                    Euro31 million of new investments in Greece
                                        
Dolphin Capital Investors, the real estate investment company focused on the
Residential Resort sector in Southeast Europe and managed by Dolphin Capital
Partners, announces two further investments in Greece with a total commitment of
Euro31 million as follows:

   *Euro9 million for a 50% stake in Scorpio Bay Resort, a master-planned
    leisure integrated community in Greece on a site of 172 hectares with 2km 
    of sea frontage.
   *Euro22 million additional investment to expand the Kilada Hills Golf Resort
    in Greece, a project 80% owned by DCI.

Highlights:

   *The site of Scorpio Bay Resort is situated one-hour's drive from Athens
    International Airport and when developed, will probably be the closest
    sea-side residential resort to the Greek capital.

   *Kilada Hills Golf Resort has received two key development permits from
    the Greek Government and it is very likely that it will be the first golf
    integrated resort development in Greece to come to market.

   *With these two new investments, DCI has committed Euro54 million of the Euro104
    million raised through its flotation on AIM on 8 December 2005.

   *With other pre-IPO portfolio projects to be finalized soon and a current
    additional project pipeline of more than Euro200 million, the Investment
    Manager expects to fully commit the IPO proceeds earlier than anticipated.

Said Miltos Kambourides, Managing Partner, Dolphin Capital Partners: "We are
very delighted for the signing of Scorpio Bay Resort and at the same time very
pleased with the progress achieved so far with Kilada Hills Golf Resort, and our
strong project pipeline. We are confident that Dolphin will continue to be ahead
of its investment plan and to fully capitalize on the growth of this very
exciting sector in our region."

Further Details:

Scorpio Bay Resort
The site of Scorpio Bay Resort is located one hour north from Athens
International Airport in the region of Skorponeri. It is a mountainous peninsula
of un-spoilt natural beauty with approximately 2km of sea frontage overlooking a
secluded bay.

The project will comprise of a five-star hotel and residential resort. Net total
construction of the development is estimated to be at least 100,000 buildable
square metres, of which at least 80,000 buildable square metres will be
residences to be sold in a combination of freehold, fractional ownership and
condo-hotel options.

The total construction cost is expected to be approximately Euro130 million while
the total turnover should exceed Euro250 million.

The other 50% of the Project is owned by a group of business partners from the
Greek shipping and banking community who have already contributed Euro9 million for
the acquisition of the site.

DCI will initially invest Euro3 million to cover site transfer taxes and expenses
and to fund the permit application process. The remaining Euro6 million will be
invested once the final permits and approvals are obtained.

Kilada Hills Golf Resort
Project Kilada Hills Golf Resort is a high-end master-planned golf integrated
development, situated in the area of Porto Heli in Greece, which is considered
the country's most prime holiday home area.

The project, owned 80% by DCI, has received the main required permits for its
development, namely approval of the Suitability Permit from EOT (Ministry of
Tourism) and the Environmental Impact Study (MPE). This includes permits for an
18-hole championship standard golf course and a combination of hotel and
residential units of over 700 beds.

Due to the considerable progress with the permits, it is very likely that Kilada
Hills Golf Resort will be the first one of its kind in Greece to come to market.

As per DCI's past announcement on 23 January 2006, DCI have already invested Euro23
million to acquire or lease approximately 160 hectares now holding the above
permits. The additional investment of Euro22 million will be used to acquire
additional adjacent land to expand the site from 160 hectares to more than 250
hectares and secure direct access to the sea. This expansion will also integrate
Kilada Hills Collection into the project, a sea front development of 10 luxury
villas that are already under construction, to be contributed in the project by
DCI's development partner who currently owns 20% of Kilada Hills Golf Resort.
After this expansion, DCI's shareholding in the entire project will become 85%.

When fully developed, the construction cost of the expanded project is expected
to reach Euro150 million while the total turnover should exceed Euro300 million.

Dolphin Capital Partners, the Company's Investment Manager, is in advanced
negotiations regarding investments in other residential resort projects as
outlined in the Company's AIM Admission Document, together with other investment
opportunities that have arisen subsequently, totaling over Euro200 million.
