                          ARDANA SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH

                       TWINPHARMA TO MARKET STRIANTTM SR

                              IN THE NETHERLANDS



Edinburgh, UK, 13 February 2007:  Ardana plc (LSE:ARA) today announces that it
has signed an agreement granting TwinPharma BV ("TwinPharma") exclusive rights
to market StriantTM SR in the Netherlands.



StriantTM SR is a mucoadhesive buccal (gum surface) testosterone replacement
therapy for confirmed male hypogonadism (i.e. those suffering from a deficiency
or absence of testosterone). StriantTM SR is the first-to-market buccal adhesive
tablet and is marketed to urologists and endocrinologists by Ardana's own sales
force in the UK, and via partners in Germany, Ireland and the Nordic Region.



TwinPharma will shortly launch StriantTM SR in the Netherlands as pricing and
reimbursement has now been agreed with the Netherlands Health Authority.



Dr. Maureen Lindsay, Chief Executive of Ardana, said: "Today's announcement
shows Ardana's continued commitment to expand its product portfolio into the
European market with specialist collaborations in each country.  We are very
pleased to be working with TwinPharma to ensure that we continue to introduce
novel therapies for indications where there are unmet patient needs."



Gert van Alewijk and Bauke Buwalda, founders of TwinPharma, said:  "We set up
TwinPharma with the ambition to introduce novel medicines into the Dutch market.
StriantTM SR is a truly novel therapy and fits perfectly with the strategic view
of TwinPharma. The collaboration with Ardana Bioscience is very professional and
inspiring and we are looking forward to a successful and pleasant cooperation."
