CYTOMYX HOLDINGS PLC

("Cytomyx" or "the Company")

Disposal of Cytocell Technologies Limited

Cytomyx Holdings plc (AIM: CYX), the leading provider of drug discovery products
and services, announces today that it has agreed to sell the business and assets
of its wholly owned subsidiary Cytocell Technologies Limited ("Cytocell") to a
consortium supporting some of Cytocell's existing management for an initial
consideration of #605,000 payable in cash.

The disposal of Cytocell, which develops DNA diagnostic products, will allow
Cytomyx to focus on its two chosen high-growth target markets in translational
medicine, exploring the link between genes and disease through the use of human
biomaterials, and in its ion channel screening technologies.

Under the terms of the sale agreement, the assets and liabilities of Cytocell
will be transferred to the purchaser although Cytomyx will receive a royalty for
four years on sales of certain products currently under development.

The proceeds from the sale of Cytocell, which achieved turnover of #883,000 in
the year to 30 September 2004, are expected to balance its book debt in Cytomyx'
accounts and generate cash for expansion of its core product offerings.

The financial results for Cytocell Technologies Limited for the year ended 30th
September 2004 were as follows.


Turnover #883,697
Gross profit #663,801
Net loss for the financial year (#197,822)
Net liabilities (#281,599)

Mike Kerins, Chief Executive of Cytomyx, commented: "Cytocell is a good business
but it is no longer core to our strategy. Its disposal will allow us to invest
further in our chosen high growth markets.

We see great opportunities for our business in the emerging field of
translational medicine where pharmaceutical researchers are using human
biomaterials to validate new drug targets and provide a clearer understanding of
the effectiveness of experimental drugs in clinical trials. We are uniquely
placed with our biorepository of human tissue samples and associated
technologies such as tissue microarrays to become a preferred supplier to the
pharmaceutical industry of high value solutions that better inform their
decision-making in pharmaceutical development.

We are also continuing to invest in our world-leading ion channel technology
platform. We are continuing the development of our range of ion channel cell
lines and plan to extend our capabilities in this area through the introduction
of an important new screening service in the coming months."

CYTOMYX HOLDINGS PLC

Preliminary Statement for the year ended 30 September 2004

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Cytomyx has had an exciting year of growth and consolidation. This has included
not only a strengthening of gross profit margins through new high value
contracts in the second half of the financial year, but also the acquisition in
January 2004 of US-based Clinomics Biosciences Inc ('Clinomics'), a company
whose unique capabilities give us the potential for substantial growth in future
years.

As a result of this acquisition, we have been pleased to welcome Stephen Turner,
the Founder and CEO of Clinomics, to our Board. Mr Turner has a distinguished
track record in the life science industry and will be a major contributor to the
future direction of the group.

The acquisition of Clinomics will facilitate a number of plans that we have to
strengthen our offering of drug discovery technology solutions on a global
basis.

During the year, Cytomyx Ltd has greatly accelerated its progress in the
development of high value products used in drug discovery. A major effort to
develop recombinant cell lines that express ion channel proteins has been highly
successful and we are now recognised as the world's leading developer of these
systems. These high value products are used to develop new treatments in areas
such as pain, epilepsy and heart disease, as well as being widely used to test
new drugs for their potential to cause serious cardiac toxicity side effects.
These products have shown considerable promise for future revenues.

Clinomics has established a very large collection of human tissue samples,
spanning most of the major diseases currently being investigated by the
pharmaceutical industry. All of the samples in the collection are linked to
detailed clinical information from the donor patient and these are used by our
clients to discover new genes involved in disease progression.

Since January, we have relocated Clinomics to a new facility in Albany, New
York, and made rapid strides in expanding its offering of products to the
pharmaceutical industry. During the year we were successful in securing a number
of major contracts with leading pharmaceutical companies, including AstraZeneca.
In addition, we entered into a major new initiative to develop new Cancer Tissue
MicroArrays (our core technology) with the prestigious Moffitt Cancer Centre in
Florida.

We believe that there are many significant synergies between the Clinomics and
Cytomyx Ltd businesses and, in order to best exploit these, it is our intention
to merge the two companies into a single global business unit early in 2005.
While the integration of Clinomics is not yet complete, early indications are
that this will be a powerful and accretive acquisition of the Cytomyx group.

Cambridge BioScience Ltd continued to perform well, and, after extensive
negotiation, we were delighted to announce re-attaining the distribution
contract for Molecular Probes following its sale to Invitrogen Corporation.
Cambridge BioScience Ltd during the year has also initiated a number of exciting
new distribution contracts with innovative US suppliers.

Fund raising

Interest in the group's key strategic products and services has been strong
during the year. We also recognise the need to strengthen our position in the
critical US marketplace, which accounts for around 50% of global pharmaceutical
R&D expenditure. The acquisition of Clinomics was our first major step towards
strengthening our activities in the US.

As a result of this acquisition, we have received interest from several US-based
investors and in December we agreed to an offer of a $2.5m convertible loan
facility from Laurus Funds that will expand available working capital necessary
for our increased level of activity in the US. We anticipate continued growth
through the group in light of our new US activities.

Financial

The group grew its revenues by more than 11% to £5,664,252 in 2004 from
£5,101,315 in 2003. This growth came from new and acquired activities, some of
the growth being temporarily masked by the temporary loss of the Molecular
Probes contract and the decision to wind down some low margin activities such as
DNA sequencing services. Gross profit has grown to £3,383,859 from £2,560,138 in
2003. Notwithstanding the net loss in the first half which, to a large extent,
reflected costs related to the investment in and relocation of Clinomics, our
second half provided firm evidence of increasing gross profit margins including
the positive impact of the Clinomics' acquisition.



Dividend

In light of the loss for the year, the early stage nature of the company and the
ongoing need for investment to grow the Cytomyx Group, the Board does not
recommend the payment of a dividend for the year.

Summary

The group has continued to focus on developing world class technologies for use
in pharmaceutical R&D and we are now seeing strong demand for these key
products. The strategically important acquisition of Clinomics puts us in a
leading position in a major growth market and provides access to the critical US
market. We have also seen strong interest from the US investment community who
have taken notice of our increasing focus on business opportunities in North
America.

We believe 2005 will be a year of significant consolidation, growth and
development of our increasingly successful pharmaceutical solutions business.

NOTES

The information set out above does not constitute the Company's statutory
accounts for the years ended 30 September 2004 or 2003, but is derived from
those accounts, and is prepared on the basis of the accounting policies as
set out in the most recently published set of annual financial statements.
Statutory accounts for 2003 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies,
and those for 2004 will be delivered following the Company's Annual General
Meeting. The auditors have reported on those accounts; their report was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 237(2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 1985.

LOSS PER ORDINARY SHARE

The diluted loss per share takes into account the dilutive effect of share
options. Ordinary shares which are potentially issuable are only included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share if their issue would decrease net
profit per share or increase net loss per share. The exercise of share options
does not increase the basic loss per share and therefore the basic and diluted
loss per share remain the same.

The calculation of basic loss per ordinary share is based on a loss of £915,661
(2003 - £414,051) and on 37,878,653 (2003 - 26,103,565) ordinary shares being
the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
