COMPANY BUSINESS (INCLUDING MAIN COUNTRY OF OPERATION) OR, IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTING COMPANY, DETAILS OF ITS INVESTING POLICY). IF THE ADMISSION IS SOUGHT AS A RESULT OF A REVERSE TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:

The Company provides customers with medical grade collagen products and development services to create collagen components from concept to clinical trial stage, including technology transfer and contract manufacturing. It is acquiring Southern Lights Ventures 2002 Limited ("Southern Lights Biomaterials") by means of a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules for Companies.

Southern Lights Biomaterials was co-founded in 2003, by Geoffrey Bennett after BSE discoveries in US and Canada left a gap in the market for a New Zealand-based bovine supply chain for medical device manufacturers. It is based in the North Island of New Zealand, and benefits from the logistical advantage of being close to a readily available and consistent supply of source tissue from a country ranked by the World Organisation for Animal Health as a "negligible BSE risk" country. Southern Lights Biomaterials is a provider of processed and semi-processed biomaterials to medical device manufacturers, to an international client base. In addition, it provides consultancy services focussing on collagen, collagen related services and regulatory support to its customers.
