                     AMARIN CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FURTHER PROGRESS
            ON LAX-101 CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT FOR HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE

                -- Conference Call to Provide Company Update --

     LONDON, United Kingdom, February 3, 2003 -- Amarin Corporation plc
(NASDAQ: AMRN) (Amarin) and its partner, Laxdale Ltd announced today
their intention to conduct an additional Phase III study to support a
New Drug Application (NDA) for LAX-101.  This was determined after a
meeting with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 29, 2003.
LAX-101 is a novel and proprietary product being developed for treatment
of the symptoms of Huntington's Disease (HD). LAX-101 has been granted
Fast Track designation by the FDA and has received Orphan Drug
designation in the U.S. and Europe.

     Rick Stewart, Amarin's chief executive officer stated, "The
decision to conduct a second Phase III study is consistent with the
approval process of new drug products for neurological diseases, and
reflects the fact that statistical significance was not achieved in the
"intent to treat" patient population in the first Phase III study.  We
were encouraged by the results of our previously announced Phase III
trial and look forward to finalizing our protocol with the FDA for our
second Phase III trial."

     Amarin announced on October 28, 2002 preliminary data from a Phase
III study conducted in a multi-center, double-blind, randomized,
placebo-controlled study of LAX-101, which enrolled 135 patients with
HD.  The primary endpoint in that trial was the change over a one-year
period in the Total Motor Score 4 (TMS-4) subscale of the Unified
Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS), the standard rating scale for
trials in this disease.  While trends favored LAX-101 over placebo,
statistical significance was not reached, when measured in the intent-
to-treat population (all patients entering the study, including those
who dropped out or did not comply with the protocol).  Significant
results were achieved in the subset of patients evaluated (those
completing the study in compliance with protocol requirements).  The
study also produced trends in favor of LAX-101 in several secondary
endpoints.  LAX-101 was found to be well tolerated by patients
throughout the study.  The incidence and types of adverse events
reported were similar in the placebo and drug groups.

     "As previously noted, the results of the initial Phase III trial,
while not statistically significant in the intent to treat group, were
invaluable in demonstrating benefit in certain patients with
Huntington's Disease in the per protocol group, and providing
information which will allow us to design a further Phase III clinical
study with Laxdale in support of the submission of an NDA.  We look
forward to partnering with Laxdale to pursue further development as soon
as possible," Mr. Stewart added.


     Huntington's disease is an autosomal-dominant genetic disease that
has been diagnosed in approximately 30,000 patients in the U.S.  The
gene for HD causes the formation of abnormal proteins due to multiple
repeats in a segment of the DNA of affected patients. In the U.S. it is
estimated that in addition to the approximately 30,000 patients with a
clinical diagnosis of HD, there are an additional number of individuals
with the HD gene who are pre-symptomatic, who will eventually develop
the disease.  Because HD generally strikes patients during their peak
earning potential years (30-50 years old) and because patients with end-
stage disease require continuous nursing care, often in institutions,
the annual cost to the U.S. economy for HD has been estimated to be as
high as $2.5 billion.
