APPENDIX AND NOTES TO EDITORS



About Phosphagenics Limited

Phosphagenics is a Melbourne-based, globally driven biotechnology company
focused on the discovery of new and cost effective ways to enhance the
bioavailability, activity, safety and delivery of proven pharmaceutical and
nutraceutical products.



Phosphagenics' core technology is built around the science and application of
phosphorylation, a process where the addition of a phosphate group has been
found to enhance the bioavailability, efficacy and safety of existing
pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, as well as to assist in the production of
drug delivery platforms.



Phosphagenics' shares are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (POH) and the
London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (PSG). An ADR - Level 1
program was established in the U.S. with The Bank of New York Mellon (PPGNY) for
U.S. investors to trade in Phosphagenics' stock on the 'over-the-counter'
market. In July 2007, this was upgraded to the International OTCQX, a new
premium market tier in the U.S. for international exchange-listed companies,
operated by Pink Sheets, LLC.
