MEDIA RELEASE

CARDIA BIOPLASTICS TO APPOINT VIRIATHUS CAPITAL LLC OF NEW YORK TO ADVISE ON A POSSIBLE LISTING ON OTCQX MARKETPLACE IN THE U.S.A

Cardia Bioplastics Limited (ASX: CNN) is pleased to announce that it is proceeding to prepare for American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) trading in the United States on the OTCQX International following today’s Board approval to appoint and retain Viriathus Capital LLC (“Viriathus”) from New York, as their exclusive OTCQX Advisor.Viriathus will provide active support and advice on the process.

To the extent that Cardia receives approval for the proposed listing it will then have dual listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and on the OTCQX in the U.S.A. It is expected that the listing process will be completed by November / December 2010.

The aim of the OTCQX listing is to enable U.S. investors to buy shares in Cardia as a foreign company without the hazards or inconveniences of cross-border and cross-currency transactions in Australia, hence creating liquidity in the USA.

The market will be informed on the progress of the proposed listing.

The Cardia Board believes that over the last 12 months, the interest in Bioplastics has accelerated with some significant growth in the market. State Governments in the USA have either legislated or are supportive of bans for the use of plastic bags. Recently there has been a significant shift not only by Governments in the USA but also by brand owners and consumers wanting plastics and packaging to have a smaller carbon footprint by using less oil, and replacing it with renewable and sustainable resources that have environmental benefits.

This is where the Cardia business is positioned.

Cardia has previously announced that it is in confidential development projects with several large packaging companies and large brand owners. Some of these companies are USA based. The potential listing in the USA will provide greater exposure and appreciation of the Cardia business to USA investors giving easier access to an investment in Cardia via the OTCQX.
