Partner Company Kromek Completes Fundraising

Amphion Partner Company, Kromek,

completes £12.3 million fund raising

London and New York, 15 March 2010 - Amphion Innovations plc (LSE: AMP) ("Amphion" or the "Company"), the developer of medical and technology businesses, today announces that its Partner Company, Kromek, which specialises in the development of disruptive technology solutions for a range of commercial markets including airport and border security, announces it has raised £12.3 million in the second close of the oversubscribed Series D financing.

The current financing has been raised from a predominantly private investor base, but investment has also been secured from corporate and institutional sources. Following this financing, Amphion now owns 17% of Kromek, on a fully diluted basis, which is now valued at £52 million.

The additional capital will provide Kromek with the opportunity to further expand its activities, through extension of its business facilities to enable further product development, as well as significantly enhance its commercial activities in its target market sectors.

Kromek has developed a family of products for the global aviation and border security markets to combat threats posed by liquid based explosives and smuggling of narcotics dissolved in alcohol. The company's bottle scanning product offers a unique solution to the current ban on the carriage of liquids, though airport terminals.

Kromek is set to capitalise on the EU's forthcoming regulation to lift the current ban, which will require airports to ensure that liquid scanning facilities are in place in transit areas at EU airports by April 2011, as a first step, before the ban.

Amphion CEO, Richard Morgan, said, "The ongoing security concerns worldwide create a critical need for innovative threat detection systems. The success of this fundraising round reflects investor confidence in Kromek's unique technology and provides the financial support for the company to continue its product and commercial development. I look forward to announcing further developments as the year progresses."
