AGM Statement

Surgical Innovations Group plc (AIM: SUN), the designer and manufacturer of creative solutions for minimally invasive surgery ('MIS'), held its Annual General Meeting today at 2.00pm at Clayton Wood House, 6 Clayton Wood Bank, Leeds, LS16 6QZ, during which the Chairman, Doug Liversidge CBE, made the following statement:

"We are pleased to report that the Company is delivering on a number of key areas. In the UK, we are seeing strong demand for our YelloPort+plus™ valve and swingtop products where our cost effective solutions are proving appealing to Healthcare Trusts across the country, with cost reduction as a primary objective. Since the start of the financial year a further 15 hospitals have been converted to the YelloPort+plus™ system, including eight since we last updated shareholders in our Preliminary Results announcement on 9 April 2013. In addition eight hospitals were converted to using Logi™Cut scissors since the start of the year. It is worth noting that this increased success in our home market provides a helpful boost for our international growth prospects.

Our commitment to expand our US direct sales and marketing operations was confirmed by the appointment of Rick Barnett as President of US Sales and Operations. The US is a very important market for us, and we were pleased to announce our first new US dealer following Rick's appointment. Sales of our products through our US OEM partners are in-line with our expectations and we have been pleased with reports from CareFusion that evaluations of the 3mm PretzelFlex® have been positive. Sales of 5mm PretzelFlex® in the US are performing as expected and CareFusion have recently ordered additional complementary FastClamp™ stock.

We continue to expand our Clinical Advisory Board ('CAB') of national and international experts through two new appointments to the CAB since the year end. Not only are members of the CAB chosen as key opinion leaders in their respective fields and countries, they also provide the Group with invaluable clinical insight into the development of new products. As already reported, we have seen successful pilot testing of our hip arthroscopy prototype and we are pleased with the functionality of the product and our overall progress in this area. Furthermore, our development of a hernia mesh fixation device for Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc is progressing well and is in the final stages of testing and evaluation.

In May, we were also able to announce a further order of £210,000 from our long standing industrial partner to develop a non-medical application of our patented segment technology. If the development project is successful we expect to sell a number of these devices for this application in 2014.

Our performance since the start of the year has been encouraging, showing good growth across the business."
