STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN, DAVID E EVANS

I am pleased to present Collagen Solutions' first interim results for the six month period ended 30 September 2014. During the period, the Group has continued to invest in Research and Development of our platform technologies.

The strategic objective is to build a significant global biomaterials business by assisting customers in expediting the transition of their products from development through to manufacture by the provision of cost effective, functional collagen materials and devices across a range of clinical indications, for the ultimate benefit of providing effective and affordable treatment to patients.

Overview

During this period, we have continued to make progress with laying some of the key foundation stones to create long-term shareholder value.

I would draw your attention to the following achievements:

- The management teams in Glasgow and San Jose have been successfully integrated and are working effectively as a cohesive unit;

- The appointment of Dr. Tim Calvert as Commercial Director;

- Negotiating new and existing contracts;

- The technology transfer of the first product from San Jose to Good Manufacturing Practice ('GMP') contract manufacturing in Glasgow is nearing completion;

- We continue to make significant advances in our work with one of our partners,Jellagen, on the processing of jellyfish into vector-free collagen;

- The licence agreement with UCL, signed in June 2014, for polymeric collagen accesses a breakthrough platform technology for the production of stronger, more durable, living collagen-based 'tissues';

- Development of new high value collagen products in San Jose.

We have set ourselves a target by 2020 to create a biomaterials business with a value of £100 million,through a combination of organic growth and exploitation of licensed IP as well as through appropriate acquisitions, and we look forward to that journey ahead.

Results

The Group's results for the six months ended 30 September 2014 are set out in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Revenue for the first six months was £143,213 (2013: £NIL). Administrative expenses were £467,672, (2013: £62,631) reflecting the costs of operating a public company and the related regulatory costs. Selling and marketing costs were £161,171 (2013: £NIL), LBITDA for the first six months was (£522,144) (2013: (£62,631)), and the loss per share was (0.88)p (2013: (0.15)p).

Net cash used in operations during the period was £482,476. The Group's cash balances at 30 September 2014 were £927,094 (31 March 2014: £1,491,660).

Dividend

Due to the loss incurred for the period since incorporation no dividends are payable.

Board and management

The Board has strengthened the team in Glasgow by the appointment of Dr. Tim Calvert as Commercial Director (non-Board). Tim has considerable experience in cell culture reagents, cell therapies and CMO/CRO sectors with companies such as Invitrogen, Lonza, Catalent and Aptuit.

Collagen Solutions LLC founders Jacci Burgin and Diane Mitchell continue to be key members of the management team, as Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Commercial Officer respectively and the

team is working together well as a cohesive unit under Stewart's leadership, with the Scientific Advisory Board providing important input into our product development strategies.

Outlook

The year 2014/15 has seen a continued investment in people and facilities as we continue to expand our sales pipeline. We are looking to develop strong collaborative partnerships with key players in the regenerative medicine space, and we will shortly commence manufacturing of a product, transferred from our core R&D facility in San Jose, California to our GMP facility Glasgow.

We are recognised within the industry for the quality of the materials that we produce and our ability to do that within a GMP environment. That gives me confidence that our long-term revenue generation is secure as those revenues are effectively embedded into our customers' products. What is more difficult to judge, is the exact timing of such revenues as our customers take their products through to launch and beyond. We have a visible pipeline of opportunities, which if crystallised, will enable the group to meet year end expectations. We have yet to reach a critical mass of manufactured products and we see this happening by the end of 2015.

We are looking to continue to leverage opportunities to develop and exploit IP, in particular by further collaboration with UCL on polymeric collagen.

Collagen Solutions has the ability to secure significant value accretion in a relatively low-risk manner, by adopting a portfolio approach in a multi-product, multi-customer, multi-sector innovative business model which monetises the embedded value in the business through our platform technologies.

Today, we also announce the proposed acquisition of New Zealand based Southern Lights Biomaterials and a placing to raise £6 million which we see as a key step in achieving shareholder value, adds surety to our supply chain, and is an important element in the execution of our strategic plan.

Thank you for your support.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited interim statement results for the six month period ending 30 September 2014 were approved by the Board of directors on 20 November 2014. The financial information contained in the interim report does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 (3) of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the full preceding period is based on the statutory accounts for the period ended 31 March 2014, upon which the auditors, Baker Tilly UK Audit LLP, issued an unqualified opinion, did not contain any statement under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The audited statutory accounts for the period ended 31 March 2014 have been lodged with the Registrar of Companies.

While the financial information included in this interim report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union (EU) (IFRS), this announcement does not in itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRS.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in England & Wales and whose shares are quoted on AIM, a market operated by The London Stock Exchange. The consolidated financial information of Collagen Solutions plc is presented in pounds sterling (£), which is also the functional currency of the Group.

2. LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 September is based on losses of £560,381 and on 63,826,007 ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the six months ended 30 September 2013 is based on losses of £62,631 and on 40,500,000 ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period. The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share for the period ended 31 March 2014 is based on losses of £479,998 and on 43,668,474 ordinary shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period.

The loss for the period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares for calculating the diluted loss per share for the six months ended 30 September 2014, the six months ended 30 September 2013 and the period ended 31 March 2014 are identical to those for the basic loss per share. This is because the outstanding share options would have the effect of reducing the loss per share and would therefore not be dilutive under the terms of International Accounting Standard ("IAS") No 33.

3. SEPARATELY IDENTIFIABLE ITEMS

Separately identifiable items in the period ended 31 March 2014 of £74,769 which related to the acquisition costs of Collbio Limited and the business and assets of Collagen Solutions LLC are included within administrative expenses.

4. SHARE CAPITAL

Options

At 30 September 2014, the Company had the following unissued ordinary shares of 1p each under the Company's share option schemes, details of which are as follows:-
