SCIENCE IN SPORT PLC

("SiS" or the "Company")

Launches Mobile Website

Science in Sport plc (AIM: SIS), a leading sports nutrition company, is pleased to announce that it has launched a mobile version of the SiS website (www.scienceinsport.com), giving its online customers the convenience of using an e-commerce site optimised for smartphones and tablets.

The launch of the mobile site (m.scienceinsport.com) follows the relaunch earlier this year of the Company's main website as part of an initiative to create an e-commerce platform integrated into the Company's manufacturing and supply facility in Lancashire.

As announced last month in the Company's full year trading update, SiS's direct e-commerce sales have been growing very strongly, complementing the strong growth in the Company's other distribution channels including major grocers, high street retail chains, independent retailers, e-commerce retailers and international distributors.

Stephen Moon, CEO of Science in Sport, commented: "It's well known that the proportion of online shopping conducted on smartphones and tablets is growing very rapidly so we are excited by the launch of the mobile version of our website.

"The mobile site represents an important part of the development of our e-commerce platform and will be integral to our planned digital marketing initiatives. At the time of our fundraising last month, we stated our intention to use the proceeds to invest in revenue-generating opportunities of which our e-commerce platform is an excellent example."
