Stanelco plc, the RF (radio frequency) applications group, is pleased to
announce that it has agreed a modified deal with Cardinal Health in relation to
its investment in InGel Technologies Limited (InGel), the Stanelco subsidiary.
Cardinal Health will continue to invest further in InGel shares, in the near
term a sum of approximately £410,000, and depending upon certain criteria being
met within two years, a possible further investment of up to approximately
£410,000. As a result of this transaction Cardinal's ownership in InGel would
increase in the near term from 5% to 7.6%, and if the further criteria are met,
to 10%.

Commenting, Ian Balchin, Chief Executive of Stanelco, said: 'This is good news
for Stanelco and we intend to apply the proceeds towards commercialising the
Company's RF sealing technology.

Stanelco's main focus at present is upon the commercialising of its RF
tray-lidding technology for food applications - which is completely unconnected
to the litigation with BioProgress. We have production trials commencing with
several large packhouses over then next few months and we look forward to the
results of these during the first quarter of 2005.'
