DAWMED SYSTEMS PLC

("Dawmed" or the "Company")

Change of Accounting Reference Date

The Board of Dawmed Systems plc (the "Company"), the AIM listed medical devices company which designs, manufactures, sells and services healthcare decontamination equipment and consumables used by NHS Trust hospitals, private hospitals, clinics and Primary Care practitioners, today announces that the Accounting Reference Date of the Company and its subsidiary Dawmed International Limited ("DIL") has been changed from 30 September to 31 March.

The Company's and DIL's business is geared heavily towards the provision of products to the NHS whose year end is 31 March. The Board believes that this change makes financial sense for the Company's and DIL's respective financial years to fit in with the NHS budgetary cycle.

Accordingly, the Company's next results announcement will be its second set of interim results for the 12 month period to 30 September 2008 and is anticipated to be announced at the end of February 2009. The following set of results will be the full 18 month period to 31 March 2009. Thereafter, the Company will prepare six monthly reports to 30 September and annual reports to 31 March each year.
