Disposal of Alpha Trading Asia (ATA) Ltd & Ebiox Distribution agreement


Healthcare Enterprise Group PLC ("HCEG" or "the Group", AIM: HCEG) the
international healthcare products group, is pleased to announce the completion
of the disposal of Alpha Trading (Asia) Limited ("ATA") to its management team
for a cash consideration of #50,000.

Separately, the Group's wholly owned subsidiary, Ebiox Limited, has entered into
a three year distribution agreement with ATA, for exclusive rights to sell Ebiox
products in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.  The agreement also allows for
non-exclusive sales in China and the Philippines.  The agreement provides for
purchases of not less than #375,000 over the three year term, with annual
minimum obligations.

ATA was acquired by HCEG in November 2005 in order to cement a distribution
agreement for Ebiox products in South East Asia.  The disposal announced today
is in line with HCEG's strategy of streamlining its operations and focusing on
the core business activities of Crest Medical and Ebiox.  The Group will
continue to pursue international distribution agreements to develop and realise
returns from Ebiox.

Lyndon Gaborit, Executive Deputy Chairman said

"We are delighted to complete this deal which allows us to focus on our Crest
Medical businesses in the UK and the establishment of Ebiox in the North
American markets, whilst having secured a long-term distribution agreement for
Ebiox in key markets of South East Asia."
