Medifocus Inc. Announces Closing of Private Placement Medifocus Inc.

(NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA)

Medifocus Inc. (Medifocus or the Company) (TSX VENTURE:MFS)(OTCQX:MDFZF)
announces that it has completed the second tranche of its previously announced
private placement. As part of the second tranche, the Company issued 22,200,000
units (each a Unit) at a price of $0.15 per Unit for gross proceeds of
$3,330,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a Common Share) and one
Series B Common Share purchase warrant (a Warrant). Each Warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one additional Common Share at a price of $0.20 for a period
of 24 months following the completion of the Offering. 13,333,333 Warrants were
issued to Integrated Asset Management (ASIA) Ltd. (Integrated) and may not be
exercised until shareholders of the Company approve the creation of Integrated
as a new Control Person since upon exercise of the Warrants Integrated would own
more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Medifocus and therefore be
considered a "Control Person under the polices of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
Exchange). 


If, at any time prior to April 26, 2014, the daily volume weighted average
trading price of the Common Shares on the Exchange exceeds $0.75 for at least 10
consecutive trading days, Medifocus may, within 30 days of such occurrence, give
an expiry acceleration notice to the holders of Warrants and, if it does so, the
Warrants will, unless exercised, expire on the 30th day after the expiry
acceleration notice is given. The Common Shares and Warrants issued in
connection with the private placement, and any Common Shares issued upon the
exercise of the Warrants, will have a hold period in Canada until October 22,
2012. 


$2,000,000 of the gross proceeds raised, representing 13,333,333 Units, closed
in trust pending final Exchange approval. 


The proceeds of this offering will be primarily used for working capital and to
continue its pivotal phase III clinical trials using Medifocus APA 1000 System
for the treatment of breast cancer (including all related professional
expenses). 


As part of the private placement, Integrated purchased, for gross proceeds of
$2,000,000, 13,333,333 Units of the Company comprising of 13,333,333 Common
Shares and 13,333,333 Warrants. The Units were acquired pursuant to the
accredited investor prospectus exemption of National Instrument 45-106 -
Prospectus and Registration Exemptions (NI 45-106). Integrated owned no Common

Medifocus owns a patented microwave focusing technology platform (the Adaptive
Phased Array ("APA") technology), which can precisely target and control
microwave energy to cause heating in cancerous tumors anywhere in the body
reliably and repeatedly. The ability to target tumors with a precision
controlled dose of heat can be used to destroy tumors at higher temperatures, to
treat tumors in combination with chemotherapy and/or radiation at moderate
temperatures for increased effectiveness and reduced toxicity and to trigger the
targeted release of therapeutic drugs and genes at tumor sites at lower
temperatures. While the core technology has been licensed from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Medifocus has further refined the precision of the
microwave focusing and control ability and developed a commercial system
dedicated exclusively for the treatment of Breast Cancer. Please visit
