VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2012) -

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Premier Diagnostic Health Services Inc. ("Premier") (CNSX:PDH) announces today that it has been granted a Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO) by the British Columbia Securities Commission. The application for the MCTO was made in respect to the late filing of the Company's audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and its management's discussion and analysis relating thereto (collectively, the "Required Filings") which were due on January 30, 2012.

The delay in filing the Required Filings is principally related to the delays of obtaining the required information from the Company's subsidiaries in China and Hong Kong.

The MCTO will prohibit the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the directors, other officers and other insiders of Premier from trading in securities of Premier for so long as the Required Filings are not filed. The issuance of an MCTO does not affect the ability of persons who are not directors, officers or other insiders of Premier to trade in Premier's securities.

Premier confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under National Policy 12-203 by issuing bi-weekly default status reports in the form of news releases so long as it remains in default of the filing requirements set out above.

Premier is making every effort to complete the Required Filings in a timely fashion and expects to file the audited annual financial statements by March 1^st, 2012.
