On 19th January 2004 Futura Medical plc ('Futura' or 'the Company'), the
AIM-listed pharmaceutical and medical device group that develops innovative
products for the sexual healthcare market, announced the settlement of an
intellectual property dispute with CST Medical Limited ('CST').

Under the settlement agreement with CST ('agreement'), certain intellectual
property was transferred to Futura together with 10 per cent of the issued share
capital of CST which has since been diluted by subsequent fundraising by CST.

toiletries and household brands company.

Futura now announces that, on 1st July, it agreed the sale of its royalty rights
with CST in respect of the UK and the Republic of Ireland for a one-off cash
payment of £125,000 and certain costs.  Futura retains its stake in CST along
with the royalty rights on sales of the Vielle stimulator in territories outside
the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.
