Notes to the Editor:

EKF Diagnostics Holdings plc was formed in July 2010 following the acquisition of EKF-diagnostic GmbH for €14.32m and refocused its strategy to one of building a substantial point of care diagnostics business. As part of this strategy, the Group has integrated two further acquisitions, Quotient Diagnostics Limited ("Quotient"), in October 2010, for a maximum total consideration of £5.41m and Argutus Medical Limited, in December 2010, for £2.18m.

The Group, with its head office in Cardiff and operations in London, Germany, Poland, Russia and Ireland, is a leading diagnostics business, focused on the development, production and distribution of analysers for the testing of Glucose, Lactate, Haemoglobin, Haematocrit and HbA1c. Recently, the Group has been granted SFDA approval in China for its Quo-Test HbA1c proprietary platform. With this approval, Quotient will be able to commence the promotion, distribution and sale of its Quo-Test HbA1c reagent kit on its proprietary platform in China.
