Amphion Partner Company, Myconostica, Acquired by Lab21 Ltd.

London and New York, 24 May 2011- Amphion Innovations plc (LSE: AMP) ("Amphion" or the "Company"), the developer of medical and technology businesses today announces the sale of its Partner Company, Myconostica Ltd to Lab21 Ltd ("Lab 21"). Lab21 is a privately owned medical diagnostics business based in Cambridge, England.

Myconostica, based in Manchester, develops and supplies molecular diagnostic products to aid rapid and accurate diagnosis of life-threatening invasive fungal infections. Myconostica was established in 2006, by leading international fungal clinician Professor David Denning, as a spin out from the University of Manchester. Myconostica had made significant progress and launched well received products into the marketplace in late 2009 and through 2010; however Myconostica required significant further capital in order to achieve its full business plan.

Prior to the transaction Amphion owned just over 16% of Myconostica, which carried a valuation of $2.3 million at 31 December 2010. Following this disposal, Amphion will have a minority shareholding in Lab21, valued at $200,000. As a result, Amphion's Net Asset Value will be reduced by approximately $2 million or 1p per share.

Richard Morgan, Amphion's Chief Executive Officer commented, "The lack of sufficient further capital to support Myconostica's continued progress as a standalone company required exiting at a relatively early stage in its growth which ended in a disappointing outcome."
