NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

The Board of Sexual Health Group, a national supplier of sexual health products to customers including the NHS, has registered a new Condomania medical device with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

Condomania® Ultrasound Probe Covers can be used in general medical procedures where Ultrasound is in use. Ultrasound is a technique used to create images of organs and other internal body parts.

The new product can be used in association with Sutherland Lubricating Jelly, which can also be used in ultrasound procedures.

Orders for the Ultrasound Probe Covers have already been received and supplied to new customers outside the NHS market, but the Company sees its main sales opportunity for this product to be within the NHS and marketing to that sector will be commencing shortly.

Commenting on today’s news, Chairman, John French, said:“This new product launch strengthens and complements the range already supplied by the Group to our customers and should further increase our presence in the NHS.”

Notes to Editors:

The Company's business was founded in 2000, and is a national supplier of sexual health products. The Company initially created the Condomania brand as a supplier of condoms to major professional customers such as the NHS and is actively engaged in the production of complementary products for the sexual health market.

The Condomania brand has already achieved a share of approximately 9% of the NHS Condom market which equates to 2.25% of the total UK market. Condomania has shown substantial growth in sales and distribution. At 11 products, it has one of the widest ranges of condoms available via the NHS in the UK. The Company's strategy is to bring a pipeline of new products in sexual health to the UK market.

In March 2006, the Company acquired Sutherland Group Holdings Ltd, which brought further products into the Group. The key product out of this range was Sutherland Lubricating Jelly which is now on national contract in NHS England.

The Company has been focusing on the development of its relationship with the NHS, and has developed its profile through this relationship. This will remain as a major part of its strategy for growth.
