Notes to editors:

§ The Group is a UK-headquartered, international technology company with two divisions:

o Bioquell (www.bioquell.com) which sells specialist bio-contamination control products and services into the Healthcare, Life Sciences and Defence sectors, with most of its revenues generated from overseas customers; and

o TRaC (www.tracglobal.com) which provides specialist Testing, Regulatory and Compliance services - including EMC, environmental and safety testing - principally to UK corporates.

§ Bioquell's bio-contamination control technology is principally based around hydrogen peroxide vapour ("HPV") - which is highly efficacious at eradicating micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses at room temperature - and is subsequently broken down using specialist catalysts to water vapour and oxygen (hence an extremely 'green' technology) at the end of the bio-decontamination process.

§ For the last three years Bioquell has invested substantial sums in developing a new product range which has been designed to increase the proportion of recurring revenues from its HPV technology - and hence increase its quality of earnings.

§ Bioquell's bio-contamination control technology:

o is used by bio-pharmaceutical, biotechnology and research institutions to provide sterile equipment and/or sterile working environments;

o is used to eradicate "superbugs" from hospitals; independent scientific research has demonstrated that 'bioquelling' hospital equipment and facilities reduces significantly the rates of hospital acquired infection;

o is used to provide single rooms to hospitals (via the ICE-pod) which currently only have open, multi-bed "Nightingale" ward structures

o has been incorporated in a wound-care product - BioxyQuell - which has received regulatory approval for use on chronic wounds in the European Union; and

§ Bioquell currently has overseas operations in the USA, France, Ireland, Singapore, China and Brazil.

TRaC sells its specialist services to the product development departments of a broad range of companies, principally based in the UK, with a particular focus on organisations operating in the aerospace and defence sectors.
